Hi all
We haven't written a blog for awhile and a lot has happened since our last entry. Well we went to France and had a great time. We both loved Paris! We stayed in a very convenient location near Sacre Coeur. We went on a 2 day bus tour which took us to the Eiffel tower. We went up it, but could only go to the second floor as the third floor was shut due to poor visibility. It was an amazing place to be. There were random people everywhere though trying to sell us cheap stuff. They have all of their cheap Eiffel Tower key rings on fabric with string so that they can pick them up if the police come! Apart from that the Eiffel tower was cool, we even went back there a couple of days later. We got heaps of photos at the Eiffel Tower!
We also went to the Louve and saw the Mona Lisa - it wasn't as spectacular as people make it out to be.
We saw Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame - both were great to see.
The weather while we were in Paris was amazing - we finally had some sun.
On Monday 19th it was Court's 21st - we went to Disneyland and it was such an awesome day! We arrived at 10.03am and stayed until about 6.30pm. We went on heaps of rides and did lots of shopping and had a bit of a look around Disney Studios too. The scariest ride was the Hollywood Tower ride which is like a giant drop.
On Tuesday we were due to fly back to Birmingham but our flight was cancelled due to the ash cloud from the volcano in Iceland. So we ended up paying 480 Euro for a Eurostar train back to London and then 35 Euro for a bus back to Birmingham. It was worth it to get back that day though otherwise we would have had to pay for accommodation for as long as we were stuck in Paris.
When we got back to Birmingham Lynnie gave me my birthday presents - she left them here so she didn't have to carry them around on our whole trip. I got a 21st bear and a BlackBerry!! It was very exciting :)
