We had chinese buffet dinner at Chikoku (was it?) for dear Kina's farewell. Ate like pigs, eh no. Tak baik nya. Ate like hungry hyenas as we were laughing our head out at the same time as if tu kedai bapak aku punya. And after that brought along our bags, went straight to Guci's place. It was about half past 11. Konon tak nak tidur till 3.30am as that was when we plan to make a move to Glasgow Prestwick Airport. Tira tidur obviously, I rested my eyes. Hehehe. While the guys were busily packing. We made a move to the airport at 20 to four I think. With roads macam balik kampung through Lebuhraya Seremban-Port Dickson, made me miss Nenek so much, eventhough Nenek duduk dekat Lenggeng, tak lalu pun highway. Hehe.

**Naik plane, ZzzzZZZzzzzZZzzZ**
Bonjour, Paris!!
Took the bus to Paris City.
**Naik bus, ZzzzZZZzzzzZZzzZ**
Bonjour, Paris City!!
Ok dah. The moment we stepped down the bus onto tanah Paris we shouted, "Nak balik Glasgow!!!!" Owh why? Because it was freaking cold, that's why! *Membaluti diri dengan scarf berpusing-pusing kali, gear ourselves with gloves, and protect our hair from the dry winter* Took the 3 days metro ticket for 19 euros, and went to the station we thought was nearest to our Hotel Londres, which was Gare de l'Est. Later did we know we passed Gare du Nord, a much NEARER station to our hotel. Dah la ter-mistaken pergi behind the hotel, a laundry place. Haha taruk lagi nama hotel "Hotel Londres"!

*After a 2-hour flight. Jangan bayangkan muka after 14-hour flight, thank you*
*Snow in Paris was beautiful..*
So we start the visite.
Basilique du Sacre Coeur
It looks unreal doesn't it??
Galleries Lafayette
Shopping heaven!
Moulin Rouge
Red district yaw!
As it was freezing and we did not really wrap ourselves nicely, our feet were killing us! Decided to call it a day and enjoyed our much needed rest.

Selamat Pagi, Hotel Londres. Owh boy owh boy, don't they give the simplest yet delicious breakfast ever! *Maternal instincts naik so nak pack bekalan for everyone* We were caught red-handed by a CCTV for stealing croissants! H-E-double L-O Londres! Kita nak makan la, accept it as a compliment please. Hehe owh well, got the croissants anyway. So off we start our Paris Visite!
To add to my Hard Rock Cafe collection, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris baybeh! Then walked to Musee Grevin, a wax museum! Definitely had fun there, met known and unknown "famous people".
Later went to Cathedrale Notre Dame. Owh did I mention the weather was splendid and fabulous? The sky was clear and blue, and the sun was out, *WITH HEAT!* Tapi kan, why takda those burung kecik-kecik at Notre Dame? Sebab winter kah? Chis, susah payah curi croissant. But then, took the croissants bukan for them, for our perut!!
Then we decided to walk to Musee du Louvre. Little did we know we took the opposite direction! Padanla jalan for half an hour already, but satu glass pyramid pun tak jumpa. Ya, Geography sorang-sorang fail! So then we gave up and took the metro. And voala! We were there within minutes! 'Twas definitely a beauty.

Had lunch at KFC. Jangan jealous please.
And the peak of the trip came.
*EIFFEL TOWER*
A wonder of the world?
Everyone.

Yeay, ponteng kelas! Pastu takut nak pergi breakfast. Hihihi kut-kut la they have WANTED posters with our faces on it.
Packed, checked out, and mengangkut all our stuff, in the rain. Yes, it was pouring like nobody's business. So we decided to go to La Defense, and spend our day indoors while waiting for the rain to stop. "Rain rain go away, come again another day"
There! Grande Arc!
Our flight later that night was pleasant. Makan maggi! Maggi rocks my socks, not all the time, to be healthy! And we breathe in Glasgow's air again. Owh, Paris airport closed the next day. Lucky eyh?
Paris was tiring yet enjoyable. Full of unexpected traveling experiences.
Note to future travelers of Paris:
1) Paris is full of bad drivers
2) Gare du Nord station is very dodgy at night. Even if you walk in groups.
3) Even so, it's always in your list of "Must Visit Cities"
