Second Draw Down

Guess who people?! That’s right, I’M IN FRANCE!!! And it only cost an arm, a leg and a 12 hour unforseen stopover at LAX. I don’t know if you’ve heard but I’m not going to waste my 1,50 ($3) Euros to explain that.

What I did yesterday: Well yesterday was my first actual DAY in France (btw Paris is BEAUTIFUL!!!!). Lutonia, Genie, Mrs Knight and I arrived the previous day around 7ish and we were going back to the airport in the morning with Rene (Mrs McMillan’s father) to pick up our luggage that we hadn’t seen since Auckland. We took the RER and the Metro to get there… Btw I LOVE the Metro, especially taking it with Dhurti and the rest of our group… hahahaha carry capacity and population pyramids. ANYWAY so after the five of us running about the airport to find out bags for the second time in 24 hours we finally got a hold of them and went back to the MIJE (the youth hostel we are staying at.) Malheuresment we didn’t get to get changed because we had to go and buy sim cards… OOOOo I’ll come back and give you my number so you can text or call… if you wanna spend the money (10 hours behind btw so don’t call when I’m sleeping -.-)
So we grabed lunch after that which was the MOST cheawy/filling sandwhich I’ve EVER had, but it was really good. I still hadn’t gotten changed outta my clothes since Monday and because it was already Wed evening in NZ I’d spent 3 straight days in the same CLOTHES!!! Yes, I did feel disgusting. However I did get a shower when we got in.
So we meet up with the rest of the group after being allowed to shower and get changed and they got lunch. (They had gone to a senior high school which I’m TOTALLY jealous that I missed out on.) And after they got changed we took the very busy metro to …

THE EIFFEL TOWER!!!!

That’s right people, I’ve been up the Eiffel Tower and OMG… it was kinda freaky but AMAZING! We actually stopped over across the river to look at it from a distance… it was weird we were just walking along and then all of a sudden we turn this corner and we see THE EIFFEL TOWER in its GIANT AWESOMENESS. It was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen and completely blown away by it’s size, it’s much bigger than I imagined. It’s so windy up there too but I brought a ticket for all the way to the top because why come to the Eiffel Tower and not go all the way. It gives AMAZING views of the city… except I’m not quite sure how many decent photos I took… hmmm…

Well after that we went back and had dinner etc etc….
I only have a few seconds left… PUBLISH!

Lots of LOVE
NOVIA (in Paris)
