Mail from Paris!!!



Earlier on, when we were at the Eiffel Tower, We bought a postcard to be mailed back to Singapore. This was because the stamp used for the postage was unique, only available at Eiffel Tower, and we can have the post card as souvenir.

The back of the postcard......

The inside! =)

Day 13 & 14: Last 2 days in Europe



We decided to skip today's breakfast since it was going to be another English Breakfast. We woke up later than usual, and spend some time packing our stuffs.

We set off from our hotel early late morning and reached the Paris airport around lunch time. European airports are a nightmare for tourists. Really feel so fortunate that the process of checking-in and arrival in Singapore is so smooth and orderly.

Lunch was at Hippopotamus Restaurant at the airport.







Bye bye Paris!

Finally back home after spending some 17 hrs in the air!
Here's the loots from Europe!
But not all of them are ours, mostly were gifts for family and helping friends to buy...
The weather here was so hot! I am missing Europe already!

One of the most expensive thing that I have ever purchased!
Gal's present!

This were ours too....
They were very very cheap in Paris!
Decide to buy them for future trips, using them as fold-able bags! =x

Guess this is what every gal dream of having.......
Going to feel jet-lag i guess!
Gd Nite... Oops i mean Good Morning People!

Day 12: Paris



Going to throw in all the photos taken on this day, and it was a lot of photos!

Our usual English Breakfast, and the portion became lesser and lesser and days passed. Perhaps we were sick of having the same stuffs for 11 consecutive days! (@_@)

After our breakfast, it was a free day for us. We can either shop immediately or we can have the option to visit Louvre Museum, and then head back to the shopping area in 2.5 hrs.

Since we do not have as much Vitamin M as others, we chose to explore the Louvre Museum as it seems a nice place to go as well. Louvre Museum and the Eiffel Tower seems like the "must-go" places when one visit Paris.



And here we were at the entrance of Louvre Museum!
Didn't expect such a big turn out as it was only 9.30am in the morning!





















Talented Artist replicating the painting....



this was the area which attract a lot of tourist.
Needless to say, that is the small but famous Mona Lisa painting!



with max zoom! =p



Leonardo da Vinci....



the huge cup and mini us!

erm..... sorry, he was not some celebrities....
He was just a tour guide! =p























funny shot of gal!
she was imagining an invisible cell door ! =p

where are the grills????











cute doggy spotted!!











Well, 2.5hrs was definitely not explore to fully explore Louvre Museum....
One probably needs at least half a day....
Nevertheless, it was a good experience for us

At the substation to take a train back to the shopping district





inside a crampy train, packed like sardines!

Half-time after shopping for 2hrs.
time to grab some food before continuing to shop for the rest of the day.





The famous macaroon shop in Galeries Lafayette

It is one of the nicest macaroon that we have tasted!

Last shot of the day before we were off shopping again!
This marked the end of the day, and also our honeymoon in Europe =(
