We got the Eurostar which is a train from London to Paris.It is very cool because it goes in a tunnel under the sea (English Channel) and pops up in France.
When we got to Paris we went straight for the Eiffel tower and we got to see heaps of Paris from the top level. It was the best thing we did in Paris.
Next day we went to the Louvre, a huge art gallery and I really liked the glass pyramid on the top. It was cool seeing the Mona Lisa. We did a Bus trip around Paris and saw the Opera house and the Arc de Triumph. It was too hot at 32 degrees to walk up it and the queue was really long. We cooled down by going for a river cruise and saw lots of the river Seine.
Day 3 was off to the Chateau de Versailles , a really huge castle and lots and lots of gold and cool fountains. Then we saw the Notre Dame and I liked the Gargoyles on the side they looked like dogs with wings. We also saw the inside out building called the Pompidou centre and also the modern art museum which had really crazy out there art.
Paris is really really cool.

  2. Hi Alice, you look like you are having a really great trip. I wish i was there too. Spring has started and alot of the daffodils at school have bloomed. Tomorrow we are going to watch the Silver Ferns playing the Australian diamonds. It will be really exciting because the winner of the game will win the series.
