Today I’m pretty excited because I’m going shopping! I have had hardly any time with all the tours and attractions that I haven’t been shopping! I head out early so it’s not flooded. I go on foot, but not too far from my hotel as I do not want to get lost in a large city. I walk down the street and explore my first shop. It was called the Ermenegildo Zegna, It had beautiful clothes. I brought a purple cashmere scarf at about $150 Australian dollars. The next shop I entered was Ogilvy, it sold shoes. I brought some black glittery heels for $180 Australian dollars, they were so cute! The next store I visited was Chaumet where Mink Coat for $5000 Australian dollars she was worth every sent. The next and final shop ... read more

Today I’m going on a Paris Chocolate Walking Tour. I love chocolate and have a sweet tooth so I decided this tour is the one for me. It starts at 2:00pm and I am leaving in the taxi now. I have my sneakers on as it is a two hour walking tour and I need some comfort for all that trek. We head to central Paris where the tour starts. I get dropped off and see about 12 people on this tour, it was pretty busy. We start our trek down the road and stopped off at a little chocolate store called the chocolatiers galore! I tried some free samples of dark Swiss chocolate with a smooth mousse inside, it was so good I proud a packet, it just melted in your mouth! The tour ... read more

Today I’m heading to the fairy-tale island of Mont Saint Michel off the coast of Normandy on the Mont Saint Michel Day Trip: Standard Tour & Hotel Pickup. The bus arrives at 12 to pick me up along with 8 other people, I was the seventh on the bus. We arrived and there was so many old but beautiful buildings, the surroundings where so beautiful and an amazing experience. We visited the exquisite Benedictine abbey of Mont Saint Michel, one of the wonders of Europe. It was huge and so beautiful. We were not allowed inside but we walked around the outside and it was one of the most gorgeous buildings I have ever seen, truly a wonder of Europe. Then we got to have free time to take a walk around the fascinating World ... read more

Today I’m going to lunch with shayla, we went to Fine Food Café down the road from the hotel which we both happen to stay at. The food was ok, could be better but was pretty nice. I ordered the Pot au feu, which was a meat and vegie dish and Shayla ordered choucroute garnie which is a meat dish with about 5 types of meat. We ordered some champagne and had a great chit chat. The man that served us was very nice, he talked to us and we took a photo with him. He was a typical French man and spoke little English but seemed to get his point across. He gave us a discount and told us to come visit him again. Lunch came to $40 Australian each. I had a great ... read more

today I’m heading to Disney land! I got there (my taxi dropped me off) and it was packed to the max! little children and their parents were everywhere! I started to play a game, I had to shoot the plastic bottles with a bi-bi gun, I shot 4 out of 5 and won a giant unicorn, it was so cute and fluffy. Then I went on the Ferris wheel it was really high but really fun! I went on a rollercoaster, the scariest ride there and screamed my lungs out. I also went on the Astro Orbitor, a ride that spins around leaving me feeling sick but was great fun. I then brought 3 show bags, the sour warhead one, the hubba bubba one and the cabruary chocolate one. I left as it was a ... read more

The view of the fountains, combined with superb food and music made the night a success.

Today would probably be the most exciting day on my trip. I am going SKY DIVING! It’s a thing I had always wanted to do but never had the guts to try. I decided Paris was the place to fight my fears and give it a go. I catch the taxi to the open field called the Gironde estuary; it was about 3 hours away from the central city. When I arrived all I saw was land with no houses just a clean field. I saw some planes parked outside, they were small stunt like planes. I got geared up but had to do some training first, I didn’t have to learn much as I was doing tandem instead of solo, so really all I had to do is enjoy the ride. I got taught ... read more

Today in Paris I’m going on the wine tasting tour in “Hidden Paris” I head off to the meeting site to meet the guide and taste some beautiful French wine. I arrive and there are about 7 people there, some Canadian, some English and some Australian. There was two Asians also. I sat on the bus with an Australian girl named Shayla, she was so friendly and was also travelling alone. We travelled from bistro to bistro trying French wines; my favourite was Pinot Nior Wa. It was worth the $70 Australian that I paid for it. The whole tour cost me $125.39 Australian. After the amazing tour we went to a little café down from the 4th bistro, for lunch I ordered a stake with a onion sauce. It was amazing and the steak ... read more

After long nights these last two days I decided to stay in and relax around the pool as it was beautiful weather. It was just a day to chill by the pool and have some room service. A day to enjoy the 5 class services of the hotel and all its luxuries. I woke up to some crepes which were amazing! Then I got into my bathers and headed for the indoor pool and had a swim. Before I knew it, it was lunch. I ordered buttery shrimp and pasta, it was so yummy, then I had a fruit punch drink made fresh and you could tell. I sat outside and enjoyed the view from my hotel. Then I hit the streets to find some dinner for tonight.Bacon Wrapped Boursin Stuffed Chicken Breasts is a ... read more
