At last dapat gak update pasal trip ni!! Hehe ok ok da sampai Paris Austerlitz station. Memang exhausted sangat tapi seronok yang macam tak pecaye, eh aku da sampai PARIS??? Haa gitu la perasaan die kahkahkah. Kitorang lapa gile tapi headed to the hotel first, nak letak luggage and all. Plus, we need to take a bath! It's been a LONG day. Euw. HAHA.

Kanak2 yang kepenatan. Nampak je innocent ni. Padahal...

Ok hotel ni kitorang cari online je. Kat EuroCheapo or Booking.com. Ala korang google je "cheap hotel in europe". Cari hotel yang dekat dengan bus/train station and attractions yang korang nak pegi (murah itu wajib!). Kire location hotel yang paling strategic la. And kalau nak travel nanti, naik subway la senang. Taxi ni selalu mahal tau, dah ler diorang tak paham English sangat. Buat nye kena scam, tak pasal2 kan. And ticket train sume kitorang da book awal2 kat RailEurope, amek global pass. Sebab dia ade buat pakej untuk banyak2 countries - unlimited train travel through 22 countries. How cool is that?? Heheh. So datang Paris hanya berlenggang HAHA. Eh tak tak.

Actually ada drama sikit pasal hotel ni haha. Owner hotel kitorang tu marah sebab dia ingat kitorang girls nak sumbat ramai2 dalam satu bilik (4 orang termasuk Yah nak masuk bilik for 2 people, how come??hahha nak saving nyer pasal). We should pay according to headcount, not per room (tak paham ke?bukan macam Malaysia la,baya satu bilik pastu bole masuk 20 orang.bukan camtu ye?). Takpe tu tak penting. Lepas settle sume2 tu, kitorang kuar jalan2. Time ni Yah tak sampai lagi. She still stuck at the airport because of that snow storm problem.

La Grande Arche de la Défense

The weather was soooo cold. Snow siap turun lagi. Brrrr. Sampai berbalut satu badan. Kat situ ade Christmas Market, I think? Kitorang just jalan2 je, we didn't shop anything. Jalan2 cuti mata tengok those good looking French people hih hih hih *muke jahat*

Chestnuts stall

Kat sini banyak hand-made stuff and artwork. Menarik2 :D

Ok we have reached the scariest place of all. LV store HAHA. Tengok entrance pon da mengigil satu badan. And kitorang window shopping je, tak mampu nak beli keh3 *muke mintak simpati*. Kitorang jumpe gak Malaysian yang shop kat situ (siap satu family lagi.oh wait,I think tu Indonesian heh). And there was this Malay girl (sebaya kot), tengah cakap French dengan sale assistant kat situ. Salute!

Ok jom layan video ni sambil tengok how it looks like in Paris. Time ni hujan renyai2. Poyo je cakap, "Kite kat mane ni? Paris!!"- hadoi haku ler tu. Sangat2 sejuk I cakap you! And people there, blergh very2 stylish. Sangat segan bile berjalan sebelah diorang. Vogue ok? Ala2 America's Next Top Model. Tu baru pedestrians. Kalau model betul? *pengsan*

HAHAH macam pakai selimut! Jom2 gelakkan diri sendiri :))

Kitorang berjalan towards Champs-Elysées. Basically perjalanan malam tu adalah seperti berikut:

A-B-C. Haaa jauh kan berjalan? Memang bakar calori gile!
Tapi from hotel, kitorang naik subway je. Tak dapat la nak jalan!

Singgah kedai Mercs kejap *cewah cam panggil nama member*

Errr..saya nak ini Peugeot bole? *muke takde perasaan kene halau*

TADA!!!! The Champs-Elysées *sengih*

Ramai betul orang nak amek gamba kat sini. Da la tengah2 jalan, kete banyak pulak tu. Tapi tengok orang len rilek je posing kat depan tu, walopon kene horn dengan driver *facepalm*

Ok so kitorang bergerak ke attraction seterusnya! Place de La Conorde. How I wish time tu tak sejuk sangat. Tapi takpe, kitorang tetap bersemangat! Aaaa video takle nak upload sebab memory besar sangat. Kecewa kecewa :(

The Fountain of River Commerce and Navigation

The Obelisk of Luxor

La Grande Roue (Ferris Wheel)

Kanak2 riang kesejukan dengan hidung yang berair.

Eglise de la Madeleine

Tau tak ape yang tertulis kat church tu?  I'm not sure what language that is but it says,

D.O.M.SVB.INVOC.S.M.MAGDALENAE (The Church of St Mary Magdalene). Haa terer tak? *padahal google je* On the way balik tu, kitorang ternampak deretan kedai2 designers such as Chanel. Tapi sume kedai da tutup time tu. Nasib baik, kalau tak kitorang da borong da *ok tipu*

The Petit Palace (Small Palace)

In front of Grand Palais (Great Palace). Ohh happy happy! :)

Overall kitorang jalan area downtown je, tengok historical buildings. Amek gamba sana sini (ntah berape banyak gamba aku snap hahaa). Ok ok badan pon da penat. Aku tak ingat kitorang balik hotel pukul berapa but what I know is, tomorrow there will be more places await us!

Tengah tunggu subway. Badan yang penat meronta2 nak katil HAHA

Yehoooo nanti nak pegi Eiffel Tower! :)
