Euro Trip 2009

Sorry we haven’t been able to update our blog, we’ve had very limited access to the internet…I thought Europe was full of internet cafe’s but we can’t find them anywhere!!

We survived Paris and had a great time! It’s such a beautiful city and the Eiffel Tower is amazing! We thought it would be a bit overrated but was surprised by it’s beauty, especially at night. We took the elevator to the top and saw all of Paris then finished our evening off with chocolate filled crepes and a “box” of red wine! We are just loving the vino over here!

We also walked the Avenue de Champs Elysees, the Louvre, Versailles and the Rue Cler (which is my FAVORITE area)!

Srsly… we miss you, come home already.

Well we are in our second day in Paris and it is amazing! We just finished going to the top of the Eiffel Tower and what a view! During the day we visited the world’s largest museum “The Louvre”. We saw some great works of art and marble statues. We cruised through Napoleon’s apartment which was a little to ritzy for my tastes!

Here are some pics of Naploeon (statue), some war armour and some other statue’s.

Today is it for the city of London. Nick and Kayleah headed to Amsterdam yesterday and Lindsay and I went to the northern part of London called Camden Town. Camden Town is known for having one of the world’s most famous markets…it definitely was and so much more. We have never seen so much shopping before! This beats the malls in Seattle. Well tonight we are off to the City of romance Paris!

The pics are in order from bottom to top! The first pic though is St. Paul’s Cathedral!

We traveled for about 12 hrs today and saw one of the most beautiful cities! We took the tube(subway) into London and arrived in the center of the city! We rook the doubledecker tour bus through the city and saw some amzing places. First stop was Buckingham Palace which we took a tour of and it was beautiful but no queen in sight. So much history in the palace you wouldn’t believe it. Paintings of Kings and Queens from past centuries. We also saw Big Ben & the Parliament, The London Eye, The London Bridge and St. Paul’s Cathedral. This city is a must when anyone comes to Europe!

Here are some pics in order: Central London, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben & The ParlIament.

Well we made it and we are all tired. I think we have slept a total of 6 hrs since Tuesday but take into account we are 8 hrs ahead. While on the flight we left the sun behind but ran into sunrise in London. We are staying at a friends flat which is a place of dweeling over here. Well tomorrow is a full day of downtown London which we can’t wait!!! Till then! Cheers!

So it is about 12:15am and none of us are asleep really because we are watching Conan O’brien Show. We have to get up in about 4 -5  hours and get ready for our flight at 7:20 am.  I think that I am going to stay up and watch movies that way I can just sleep on the plane.

One bag apiece doesn’t seem like a lot but let’s hope it is! Just the necessities are packed for this trip.

We are packing and getting ready for our vacation to Europe w/Nick and Kayleah!
