Paris
We got up at 6am for our 7am breakfast before coming back to the room for an hour, we had planned on going out for an hour of extra magic hours but we still weren't sure when to get the train as we wanted to avoid rush hour. We ended up heading to the station for 9am, the train arrived just after we got there.
We started at the Arc De Triomphe, before heading for an early lunch. My fiancé was caught by a charity/scam worker who targets English speakers, while he was dealing with her I had two more come up to me.
First one.
"Do you speak English? Sign this"
No.
"Just sign it"
No.
No.
"Sign it, its ok"
No.
No.
*brushes passed me and storms off*
Second one
"Do you speak English?"
*shakes head and walks away*
We had tickets to go up the Eiffel Tower at 1pm, the queue took about 20min to get to the lift, and somewhere between the two lifts my ticket went missing, but they let me on the summit lift anyway as our prebooked tickets had a 'ticket /2' stamp on it so they know we did buy two tickets.
After looking around the Eiffel tower for a while we headed to Notre Dame as last time we visited Paris we only saw it from the river cruise.
After that we headed to Lovelock bridge, I had ordered a lock from Not on the High Street especially for this.
I know its not the best thing to do, its damaging the bridge, but my lock was incredibly light and I don't mind if they remove it, it was just something i've always wanted to do before they move them all and replace the bridge with glass panels.
After that we headed back to Marne-la-vallée, but we got back too late to go into the parks so we dropped off our stuff at the hotel and headed into Disney Village for some shopping and food.
I fell in love with the 'After the Prom' figure in the Gallery shop but I didn't have enough space in my case for it.
I think i'm going to have to email DLP mail order and have it posted over to me as its disappeared from the US Disney Store website now and theres one on eBay for over $300!
There was a lot more i'd planned to do in Paris, but either the places were closed on a Tuesday, or I just forgot about them because I planned them that long ago so I missed those out, and then there was one or two places we wanted to revisit from our last trip into Paris but it was just so cold (and hoping to get back to Disney in time to see Dreams) we decided against it.
Heres some video footage of my trip into Paris.
And a sneak peak at some of the panoramas I shot while we were there.
