Last day in London

Bonjour!
Time has flown by so fast and I cannot believe I am going home tomorrow. I have seen so many wonderful things, and I have made memories that will last for a lifetime. This trip only makes me want to travel more, I have many places I want to visit (Greece, Germany, Italy...)

Yesterday we went to Paris, it started bright and early at 7 am. Paris is a beautiful city, full of great shopping, food and entertainment. I would recommend getting the chocolate and banana crepe, it was amazing. Our tour guide took us all over the city. I was surprised when I realized Paris is not that big of a city. It is only 3 miles in length and width. However we were not able to cover all of the city, but we covered most of it. Seeing the Eiffel Tower was by far the best thing on the tour. It made me feel like I was in Paris. It was magnificent, we got to see it at night so all of the sparkling lights were on. I wanted to go up it, but unfortunately we did not have time because it takes over and hour and a half to go up it. Maybe I'll be able to go up it next time I come.


The only thing I did not like about Paris was the subways. They were disgusting, and they smelled like urine (gross!) Apparently they are not allowed to have advertisements anywhere, so they spray graffiti everywhere (its on trains, statues, walls, cars, windows). Overall, it was a wonderful day and I am very happy I had the opportunity to see Paris.


Cheers,
Aarika
