madrida

The weather has changed! It's grey and rainy in Madrid and the sun is shining in Sweden! It's not that I don't want you all to have sun, even in Sweden, but the thing is that when we have nice weather, it's not that nice in Sweden and the other way around... and it turns out that every year for Easter the weather here is baaaad and you have all the sun in Sweden!

NOT FAIR!!! because I want some nice weather for my birthday on Sunday, so you better give it back to me by then! ;O)

So, you all in Sweden, you better enjoy the sun all you can!!!


Big kiss!


Ida is missing the blue blue sky and the yellow yellow sun! ;O(

Good early early morning on all of you!

Ok, so here comes the second part of the Paris trip story.



We stopped by the Galeries Lafayette, which is a big shopping centre with all the famous expensive brands. The building is beautiful! It was nice to have a look but I didn't buy anything though.


We went to see the Louvre Museum, but it was first on the last day that we went inside. It's huuuuge! There was no time to see it all, but we got to see the things that we thought were interesting. You really need time to go there.


Of course I had to make some funny poses with the pyramids in the background ;O)

We went to see Notre Dame, but I didn't get to see the hunchback though... ;O)


We also went to Sacré Coeur. Montmartre, which is the part of the city where you find this basilica, is a really nice block. Here you find small streets full of life; bars and restaurants, all kinds of shops, small markets on the squares and so on. Here you can also find some more colourfull houses, as in the city centre most buildings are white.


Montmartre


In front of the Sacré Coeur. This basilica is located on the top of Montmartre, the highest hill in Paris, so the view is really nice from up here and you can also see the Sacré Coeur from many places in Paris due to it's high location.


Then you can't miss to visit the Arc de Triomphe.

On one of the days we went to Versailles. On the way there we first took the wrong metro, so then we had to take a tram to get to the correct train station. Then we went with the train in the wrong direction! haha so we had to change on the next station and go back. But in the end we got there! I really liked Versailles, specially the small village of cottages that Marie Antoinette had built for her. We never went into the big palace, but chose to see the gardens, the two small palaces and the village of Marie Antoinette instead as we found that more interesting, and I don't regret that as I loved to walk around in the gardens and to see the small village. Here comes some pictures from the day:


In the end, when we were going to return to the train station, it started to rain so we were really soked when we got back to the hotel, but it was a great day anyway! hehe

So that was some of the things we did in Paris, but there was so much more! So here comes a little mix of other places and funny pictures from the trip:



Me in the heart of Paris by the river Seine


Pantheon


mon amour ;O)


who's that crazy girl?


La petite baguette ;O) hehe

And that's all folks! It really was a great week and yet another adventure to add to my memories.

I hope you all will have a great day!

Au revoir! ;O)

This is the story of our trip to Paris...


We had quite a nice view from the hotel room... the hotel itself was a story of it's own though ;O) But the room was clean and it was ok, eventhough the card to open the door didn't work, the two lamps by the bed didn't work and neither did the television! haha but the hotel was close to the centre and the view was nice, so what does that matter?!!

There is sooo much to see in Paris, so we didn't have time for it all, but we have done lots of things! And I also had the time to meet up with a friend to have a tea and catch up as we haven't met since we both studied in Skövde when she was there as an erasmus student. It was really nice to see her again! ;O)


The first day when we arrived it was sunny and warm, so we mostly went strolling around in the parks and having a first look at the city.




The spring is so beautiful with all the flowers in the trees and gardens!

The rest of the days the weather changed a lot, some days it was sunny and nice and others it was cloudy and a bit rainy, but we were lucky that it mostly rained in the evening and only a few days.


Of course we went to see the Eiffel Tower ;O) I think this was my favourite part of the trip! We went all the way up to the top as well, and then we walked along Champ de Mars and had a pic-nic there with the nice view of the Eiffel Tower. Sooo nice!





Well, I'll tell you more about Paris tomorrow! Sleep tight bloggers!
