Paris, My Diary Part 2 of 3

This is the second part of my holiday diary:


Day 1  22:51  French Time


Galeries Lafayette
Having a great time here with my Aunt and Uncle just outside Paris near Versailles. We have driven round the Versailles Palace to see it all lit up and it looks amazing! We have had a 4 course meal for tea already! Starter was salads and baguette, then main was pasta and ratatouille and then a cheese board and then ice cream and meringue for pudding. We have planned a great day for tomorrow including seeing all the Paris shops! 


Day 2   22:35  French Time


Today was actually the BEST DAY EVER! First we went up the Eiffel Tower! Right to the top! then we saw the Arc du Triomphe and then walked along the Avenue Champs Elysees and saw Louis Vuitton Store and the Cartier jewellery shop! Then we had pizza for lunch and as we walked we saw Pierre Cardin and Prada! At the end of the day we walked all around Printemps and Galleries Lafayette.

Paris, My Diary Part 1 of 3

This 1st part of my diary is not much fashion interest but I would like to display my journey form the start.

Day 1- Monday 21st of February  10:12 British time

Just got on the train from Derby to St.Pancras International Station in London and I am very excited. After struggling to find room for our suitcases, we have settled down for the 1hour and a half journey. We will be stopping at Leicester soon and then it will be full speed ahead to London. I am facing backwards in the train which is weird.

St.Pancras International Station & the Euro Star


12:30 British time

We have boarded the Euro Star to Paris and I am listening to a podcast revising the french alphabet and key phrases to use in Paris. We have no yet set off from St. Pancras Station, but I am admiring the unbelievable architecture of this building. The roof is especially spectacular. We walked through the shopping centre in the station briefly and I have already spotted several London shops including Carluccios food delicatessen and a mini Hamleys toy shop.

12:50 British time

We are on set for Paris and we keep going through tunnels which makes my ears pop and I have to suck on a mint to help. I am listening to Iggy Pop on my ipod and reading the Euro Star magazine......(time gap) We may have now entered the channel tunnel...
