Paris

The first night in Paris was so amazing. We started with a train ride to the hypermarket, where I almost got lost on the second floor of it. After dinner we went for a nice evening stroll which turned out to be at the perfect time, because as we headed through the Louvre to the pyramid, we were struck with the most intense sunset I have seen in my life. Not only were we right there by such a famous icon, but it was made so much better by the orange glow of the sun. We continued our walk all the way along the Champs Elysees up to the Arc de Triomphe. We had the most spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower from the top of it. The next few days are a blur, we saw so much. The Louvre was definitely a highlight, although I must say the Mona Lisa isn't all that it's said to be. Going to the top of the Eiffel Tower was also so amazing, as was the race down the stairs afterwards.
The buskers we saw last night were the perfect way to end our Paris adventure, my mind is still blown by the way one of them manipulated a crystal ball (photos and videos of this will help you understand), I also loved everything they did with fire, so cool. So now we are on your way to London for the final leg of this amazing trip.
