Hello Steemians!
Sorry for the long time off line, life is crazy busy with work and family and fun event planning! But I promise I will be here more often.
Recently I have had much on my mind, however the main thought besides from enjoying life day by day, is my future travel plans.
Who here has had the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful city of Paris?! I HAVVVVEEEE
Way way back ago, my wonderful mother booked a flight to visit the grandparents in Germany shortly after planning a 5 day holiday within in holiday to PARRRIIIISSS!
Lover of pastries, chocolate, Parisian fashion style, pebble stone pathways and grand hotels I fit right in. I couldn't swipe the smile off my face.
Only having only 5 days in the city of Romance in the busiest time of the year, New Years Eve. Wrapped in my grandmothers wool throw and matching hat Mum and I took on the city by foot.
FUN FACT TIME
Did you know the Lourve is the largest Museum in the world?! It takes more than 1 full day to enjoy every single room in the long building in the heart of the city.
We tackled The Lourve for a whole day and boy were we exhausted! We had to stop half way through to rest our feet and re-energise with a baguette from the joining cafè. My favourite of all 60,600 square metres of the breath taking palace, are the Napoleon Apartments and Kings Hall. The romance, the wealth, the pure beauty! I was gobsmacked. I even got to see the Mona Lisa!
Next stop, the Norte Dame. If you do get a chance to explore this area I would highly recommend the Catacombs. Unfortunately we didn't have the same knowledge as we do now for the amazing technology of iPhone Maps so we couldn't find them! Even though we were standing on top of them! (Face palm hahaha). Also its a must to go across the bridge over the water and have a real hot chocolate the French way!
Night time, wow the city lights reflecting off the gushing river running through the city has to be one of my favourite times of the holiday. Outside one of the many Disney like Palaces' there was an ice skating rink! Perfect for a cold wintery festive night. It's pure magic guys. I am so booking that flight ASAP! And exploring more of the beautiful Europe. IT HAS MY HEART.
Love shopping and fashion like I do? YOU MUST GO TO THE CHAMPS ELYSEE! Wear comfy shoes as you'll find time flies when you're having fun walking and exploring!
Hope you enjoyed! Leave your comments below of your thoughts and if you've had the privilege to visit!
