PARIS

Paris! What a beautiful city! This place is filled with love, passion, fashion, history, honey mooners, and plenty of sights to see. Thinking of Paris most people think of the Eiffel Tower and love, but there is much more to Paris that meets the eye, so lets go explore!

So in order for us to start this journey through Paris we first must take the Chunnel!

The Chunnel is a really cool experience because you get to see all different people of London and hopefully your a people person because you WILL be up close to a stranger

 This is a cool boat tour down the Seine river you can take while in London. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. On this tour you will get to see the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower, the outside of the Louvre, where Napoleons tomb is located, and the beautiful bridges that Paris has to offer.

 The Notre Dame Cathedral is a spectacular sight to see! You may recognize it from the Disney movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame. For the record I am pretty sure I spotted him on one of the towers... Anyways this is another beautiful gothic church that was built hundreds of years ago. Inside you can take all the pictures you want and sit in the pews if you wish to pay your respects to the creator above. For an extra fee you can also climb to the top of the tower and see the hunchback.

The Louvre is one of if not the biggest museums in the world. I spent hours running through this building and still didn't get to see the entire thing. This is where the famous Mona Lisa is kept on display as well.

The Arc de Triomphe is a memorial for the ones lost in war. Here you can find the tomb of the unknown soldier. This giant memorial is surrounded by the largest roundabout in the world! This round about has 12 lanes all going into the same roundabout with no line dividers. Talk about crazy

This is what the Arc de Triomphe has a view of all day everyday from the top! This is the famous Champe de Elysees. This is where all the ladies dreams come true walking down this road with their arms full of fancy bags from all the big name stores. Talk about fashion.

This is a newer Catholic Church in Paris sitting on one of the only hills in Paris.

Right next to the Catholic church is the Artist square or Montmarte. Here you can find good eats while also getting your portrait painted by only the best that Paris has to offer.

 Paris has something for everyone. Whether you are an artist, historian, fashionista, or a die hard romantic Paris is the place for you.

Till next time, keep on travelin.

TOUR OF LONDON part 1

This week we will be talking about the great city of LONDON! All of these photos are pictures taken by yours truly and I am so excited to share this adventure with all of you. This was such a great experience for me as I went to Europe for two and a half weeks on minimal sleep walking all over some of the biggest cities is Europe. Today is all about London and we will have to continue this on a later post as well. Well here it is London, England. What a wonderful city to go explore! There is so many cool places to go visit with so much history every where you look, walk, and every corner you turn. Some of the big highlights of the city are the London Eye, Big Ben which is connected to Parliament, Tower of London and Buckingham palace, and St. Paul's Cathedral (we will look at some of these later). Of course you can not forgot one of the trademark items of London like the red telephone booth!

The London eye is truly a breath taker! I know for a fact that I did not expect it to be so big as it is the second largest Ferris wheel in the world standing at a height of 443 feet tall! WOW! It takes a full 30 minutes to make a complete rotation and each carriage which is shaped like a oval can hold up to 25 people! The London Eye stands on the River Thames and also can be refereed to as the Millennium Wheel. 

The view of Parliament  and Big Ben from the top of the London Eye! The Thames River is very dirty! GROSS! I would not want to go swim in that water.

FUN FACT: Big Ben is not the clock nor is it the big structure in which we recognize Ben. Big Ben is actually the name of the Bell inside of the clock tower. 

This is the view of Buckingham Palace from the top of the London Eye. The palace is home to the British royal family and the Queen herself. The palace is the building in the middle off in the distance in the green trees. 

The Globe Theater, This is an exact replica of Shakespeare's original globe which burnt down in 1613. Here you can experience plays how they were meant to be in the time of Shakespeare. 

Good Bye for now and as always Happy Travels.
