Europe Country 8: French I

22 Sept 2009
After having the breakfast in our lovely little hotel in Lucern (except for the noisy railway traffic at whole night), we rode on a bus for almost 7 hours to travel 670km to reach Paris.

This really made me crazy, for not being to sleep at all during the travel. Thank to our proud-to-be-mother tour guide, Wanda for making the entire journey fun by displaying a few DVD movie about some historical stories happened in French. Nevertheless, it was not enough fun until she forced each of us to take turn introducing ourself in front, using the microphone. It was already almost the end of the 14-day trip only we started introducing ourselves. Some of them were even asked to sing.
Finally in the late evening, we reached. The glamour of Paris welcomed us with open arms. Without wasting anymore time, we rushed to the Seine river for its cruise. This was the one and only activity of the day before we went for dinner and then back to the hotel.

We were given a route map, where the cruise would take us, with listed building names that we would see during the journey. However, you would not find it really interesting.

Our spirit was boasted when the cruise finally took us to the Aifel Tower. All of us were so excited to take pictures with it, in different angles, with different camera settings before the cruise passed it and of course before the sky turned into darkness. We did not want to miss the chance to snap the photos of this most remarkable building in Paris. We did not even know that we would have another chance to see it again tomorrow at that moment.
