Kyra Over Seas: Paris is Always a Good Idea

Paris is Always a Good Idea

Bonjour mes amis!
Mike and I have officially started our contiki tour! We couldn't have landed a better group. The lot of us had been chatting on Facebook for months before the big meet up in London but I'm sure none of us expected to bond as quickly as we did.
And we made it to our first destination; France!

Our first day in Paris was spectacular. We decided to go up the Eiffel Tower at night and it was the most beautiful experience and I'm so glad we opted out of doing it during the day. You coud see for miles, and we all stood at the top for ages just chatting and taking endless pictures and soaking it all in. I mean, were in Paris surrounded by some of the best company out there; could life get any better?

Oh, it can. Today we walked all over (in the blazing heat may I add!) to see le Louvre, l'Arc du Triomphe, Avenue des Champs Elysées, le Tour Eiffel, Pont des Arts and more. We walked for hours on end exploring the culture and craze that is the city of love and not a single person was sitting at the dinner table tonight without a permanent smile on their face. I'm completely flabbergasted that today is only one week into our adventure. It feels like its been two months, but in reality that's how long we have left till we're home! Tomorrow were going to see Moulin Rouge (!!!) and have an authentic Parisian feast, and I could not be more excited.

Here's to new friendships and awesome adventures!

(PS, due to the god awful WiFi at this hotel I had to durastically cut the quality of my pictures so they wouldn't take 10 years to upload.. I cried inside).
