European Tour 2 – Paris romantic feelings

July 31, Saturday, fine afternoon 14: 17 minutes, and trains arrive Paris North Station. Get off to find the ticket counter, for me, online, 5 days later a train ticket for Paris to Amsterdam. In all, this is not done well, the United Kingdom United Kingdom train ticket online tickets arrive after you select the right of the station, self-service check out tickets just fine, very convenient, but European rail tickets will have the tickets at the counter. Buy tickets for many of them also, for a team, we turn to the reservation and the credit card when booking online hand, soon replaced four like airline tickets, train tickets, on a date-time trips, OK, no problem. Train ticket for Paris to Amsterdam, I was in the top clause www.sncf.com. Previously have searched Netherlands Railways website, and found out the ticket is cheaper than the former one website, but cannot pay by credit card. I heard that there is a foreign credit card chip, unlike the magnetic stripe of a credit card is the US, some Web sites do not accept our credit card. But do not know whether it is for this reason. Anyway, SNCF may provide on this site just fine (English pages). However, our fare compare two adults because with a child's sake (my son is 11 years old), so we both fares or discounts, 61 euro per person, my son is children's tickets (12 years old) 15 euro, but my daughter can only provide youth tickets (12-25 years old), but the most expensive, 62 euro, the total is 199 euro. Pick up tickets, to go out looking for rental to the hotel. We in Paris on 5 days, 4 days booked a hotel near the Eiffel Tower, the last day of the old rules, to the North Station, go days take a train to Amsterdam. The preceding four-day stay in the Hotel Alma Mesnil, called: is in Ludlow Khadro (trocadero) nearby. Go walk 10 minutes to the summer Temple, and from there to see the Eiffel Tower the best scenery. The hotel is quite old, the room has a fireplace, a large living room, a spacious four, bathroom or separation of the two rooms, 140 euro for one night, I feel that lived in Paris for the House or value for money. Put your luggage, go go straight to the Eiffel Tower. Summer Temple of the viewing platform at sea of people, from here to see the past, the Eiffel Tower reveal a clear and pleasant attitude. Although the TV picture has been seen many times, but see real it, or excitement. From summer temple down the steps, cross the bridge, close to feel the magnificent Tower. Go past, see den Tower people queuing up a long queue. Now the Eiffel Tower to the top began to Internet service, but only the English page, I tried, our credit card payment the same can not be successful, and Chinese language page on group tickets can be booked only. If you have friends abroad can ask them to help booking. The scene is queued, so people can only give up the idea of climbing tower. Back to the bridge, locate the Seine River Cruise dock, I said before, I am in the Eurostar website www.eurostar.com ordered tour tickets. Seine River Cruise: Paris people pleasure boat, fly the ship, River bus. We booked one cruise in Paris. Four personal 31.81 Europe. To the ticket booth to print off the reservation for a ticket, and then on the boat. After the note on the ship's crew's welcome speech, she will ask you have come to this country, when asked to have China, hurry and raise their hands, she'll put Chinese interpretation channel open, and then all the way to listen to the explanation see the scenery will not be confused. Pleasure boat approximately 1 hour from, also returned to the original port. Disembarkation back to summer Temple nearby, find a home you can see the Eiffel Tower restaurant, sit down dinner. We sat in the outdoor seating, think for a moment the Eiffel Tower lighting when you can see the beautiful night view. Who thought of the day turned out black Paris is so slow, eat a good meal is 9 points, day or light, you would like to see the postcard on the bright at night, at least until 10: 30. Come to think of it this time to play in Europe, every evening after dark time at 10 o'clock, for tourists is very favorable, but the disadvantage is not able to see at night. 1 Aug, Sun, Yin sunny today is one of the first weekday of month, is the Louvre is free every month. Morning walk to Charles Woo Gongmenkou, sitting on the HOP ON HOP OFF tour, four people in two days, the same is Europe 68.5 Eurostar bookings on the website. Sit in the Louvre, see Mun went in. A get in was the Queuing service of a jump, as soon as possible to let two child investigation about how long the queue. Half day two children came back, the answer is the old Presbyterian Minister, Khan. But good in forward speed does not slow down, so get down to line up. After queuing up for more than an hour, from entry into the Louvre pyramid. In fact, our family's experiences in the arts, so nice just to see the town shops Sambo, others do not know everything a waste of time. Free Japanese people really many, town shop Sambo front was full of people, especially the Mona Lisa's smile is very busy at the front, pushes all crowded into it. To Paris, the Louvre is a must, for me, the Louvre's significance and that's it. Sambo, already had lunch at noon, I originally wanted to find a book found a restaurant, but the Louvre is too big for our hands free map of Paris and enough detail, was not found. The result is in a restaurant to eat. But I put restaurant information stickers, interested can take a look: Café de I ' epoque: 2 rue du Bouloi, galerie Verot-Dodat Metro Louvre station. 1826 when there is a Grand Café, which has now been renovated into an authentic Paris features a small restaurant offering authentic French food, such as the fat of Goose liver, small snacks, etc. Sitting on the bus, we proceed to the next attractions: Notre Dame de Paris. See Notre Dame de Paris, a place is delicious we absolutely should not miss, in Notre-Dame, Saint Louis Island, later on the island the most delicious Paris is said to be an ice cream shop, Berthillon. The island I saw a bag, and so I bought one to ask about ice cream shop BerthillOn information, enthusiastic shopkeeper aunt told me that the earliest Berthillon is gone, closed. Now there are a number of Berthillon shop, are subsequently opened, but also sell the same ice cream. Then find the queuing up in a (more prove that tasty queued, Khan), all the way back to Notre-Dame with ice cream. Continue to take tourist car, always sit des Champs. European Sun really bright people keep my eyes open eyes, finally understand why Europeans everyone a pair of sunglasses, not trying to be cool, but is required. Do as the Romans do, a person or to a Vice, wearing really feel much better. Lei Peng glasses 135-155 euro a pair, the profound feeling again to the Europeans and the Chinese people's standard of living. In the Champs Elysees Avenue, and we follow Paris people, find an open-air restaurant, a drink. Eat and drink, a meal waiters will bring you to the dining table seats inside, but if you just have a drink, let you sitting outside a circle, facing the Boulevard seat — Yes, all bar restaurant in Paris at the door are part of the seats for street, between each two seats, there is a small round table, so you sit facing the street, I don't know what is the street view, or be regarded as a landscape, perhaps both. In the evening back to the hotel in front of a restaurant, I once again make when ordering a joke. Although the menu is in English, but for half a bottle of my looks or some difficulties. I see there is a main dish called Home made tatar, thought this is cooked of meaning, it must be their specialty strategy, then point to this. Results up dumbfounded when, not just raw meat? LG said how to jiaozixian served, the three of them have gloated music. Then know the tatar is very famous cuisine, translated into Chinese called Tatar meat, there are two methods, one is born, there is also a bit with pan fried, but estimated inside or green. Subsequently many times seen people eat, don't know how they are eaten. Also good has French before LG point snail, I ate a few, and took some bread, finally not so hungry, as regards that hygiene meat, I tasted two, feel what you're going to get nothing, the rest had to put in there the reserved for waitress jokes. This meal some expensive 108.2 Europe. 2 August, Monday, fine or morning sitting tour, this time in the Paris Opera, and in this magnificent buildings stay for a while, only took a few photos, didn't go in, and walked towards the direction of Lafayette. I don't know why so many people recommend Lafayette, in my opinion, this is simply not worth going to the grocery store. Efforts were not in the shop said that shopping environment is very poor. One more question for a while will feel upset, even if the goods more then all would make people lose interest in shopping. Shop around for a while, we unanimously decided to withdraw from leave. Then go find a book recommended a two players from China and Viet Nam for Chinese couples the shop, "Asian snack" (Operasie), the most recommended that the boss to special spices of beef. Address: 10, Rue du Helder, 9e, however, we found this shop, I regret, shopkeeper couple holiday rest. Right next door is another Chinese restaurant, the food tastes do quite well. Three dishes for lunch and a bowl of wonton 38.2 Europe. Have a good lunch, decided to go to the Sacred Heart Church. Rent 11 Europe, go directly to the Sacred Heart church door. Visit good l'Eglise, Sacred Heart Cathedral steps down, it should be is Hill Plaza. But to be honest, Sacred Heart Church here feeling is not very well worth a trip, of course, if you have a lot of affluent time may also wish to visit a stroll around here, after all, the most famous Moulin Rouge. Back when I take the subway back to the Lafayette there, because we want to find a specialty restaurant: Chartier address: 7 Rue du Faubourg Montmartre 75009, MTR station M8, Grands Boulevards station 9: tel: 0147708629 I found on the Internet is: 1896 opened restaurant has become a historical building. From the year, history, current situation, are worthy of an old, cheap first. Inside, much like a Grand Ballroom, baggage overhead luggage rack. The oldest restaurant in Paris, the most common price. There are old guests ate for decades. Inside there is a single grandfather did more than 20 years, Word of mouth is very good. Menus are simple and rich, without compromise of France. Package 15 euros. From Lafayette go past a slight distance, but you can live with it. We went there also compare a null, and so we eat well when the outside is already queuing up a long queue, visible is very fire restaurant. It is really great, but like introduction, baggage in overhead. But let us headaches are the menu is French, ask uncle of single, tells us there is no English. No choice but to even guess with Mongolia. Good in French, English or some similarities, such as English beefsteak, steak, French is called steack; dessert desserts, so also be read. Oh, you guessed it, our point is steak. No way, other really do not understand. But Uncle through and single, the difficulty in communication we point a guest 12 tablets of snails. As regards the set b? we didn't find any package. Objective, in the dining room to eat a steak, because I do not think to do it's great, but maybe there is no point to their house specialty foods, such as my daughter after a point is delicious desserts. Said here, I remember we next door a couple, the old lady points is that let me unforgettable tatar, I see she is French fries when spoon, digs to eat meat. But I think my life won't try this thing. This meal even tip took 74 euro. Although the menu is written already includes a 12% service charge, but we or by 10 percent paid for the tips, it is because see waiter walked briskly, busy, busy, and thatSome waiter is a old uncle, so couldn't give extra copies of a tip. By the way, there is also a very interesting details, point when the waiter brought you order all written on the tablecloth, checkout the calculation directly on the tablecloth, it is a good way to practice addition, and paper-saving, environmental protection, haha! 3 August, Tuesday, sunny and today's itinerary is Versailles. In the morning, we decided to travel by taxi. Unexpectedly, Paris taxi rather difficult to play, even if we stand on it's Jan strokes point — no empty, occasionally a car also. We note that taxi of lamps and Shanghai, three colors, the problem is that we haven't figure out exactly what lights to beckon. However only post-return Internet clearly, those three lights seemed and fees, and null is not empty is okay, Halo. Finally we go to the summer Temple, finally see an empty point at Jan strokes. Plus, the way is opened to Versailles 30 euro. Versailles was repainted, so the Palace there is a sharp contrast to brushed gold powder that part of the name is a magnificent, and not part of the brush to the ups. But anyway, the striking architectural or persuasive, look at the queues at the entrance to buy tickets in person. Because early learning strategy, know people lining up to buy tickets, tickets for me so here also bought a ticket in advance online: 25 euro for adults, 18 years of age free of charge. Even so, line up the door or many, fortunately, speed is not slow, and soon entered the door, a security check, to the Palace. Go to the visitor center, you can get free maps, free on the device. And then along the tour route, a one-room going just fine. After each time into the room to find room to draw a small headset with dashboard on the numbers, and then on the device to enter this number, there will be Exposition of the Chinese language. But to tell the truth, so go all the way to a great extent influenced the Visual effect, I think if time sufficient, you can enter the room stood still listen on, and then use the eyes give the room a look again, this result should better than walking while listening. From the main building, is noon, roadside road yazi on full eat lunch, hand sandwich, hot dogs. We found a cafe, or intend to sit down comfortably eat a lunch. Dinner to see a girl points and tatar. OMG, look my nightmare is many people's food, HA HA. Tips to eat lunch with 90 euro. Eat a good lunch, to the rear garden. They found that children in the garden behind the fare is not, in the ticket sales booth next to buy two tickets to the garden, 12 euro. The garden is also a striking, its luxury and atmosphere to the people and the Palace is not the same feeling. The Museum is big, but to give people more shocking is that there is a Royal feeling, high above the solemn. And Versailles was another Royal style, in the heart of stone carving, broad a boundless green, is a stylish feel. Along the pedestrian road, go straight and Apollo Jet pool, to the Grand Canal, the river and a handful of sitting, while you enjoy the sunshine. We wander to lay down on the grass. The wind blowing slightly, Breeze like gentle, pleasant, warm and the sun shines on the human body, the LG actually asleep. A large goose veering to swim to shore, a child was in the food and feed it, daughter and son are very fresh, because that is the first time they had seen geese. Lie down for a while, get up toward the big teliya Lennon Palace. See the description, this Palace was Louis XIV and the rest of the Royal family. But compared to Versailles, the Palace was clearly some sloppy protection, have a spacious feeling down and out. Visit out large teliya Lennon Palace, we all feel a bit tired, but large teliya Lennon Palace is not making a character value for feeling, so I decided to give up small teliya Lennon Palace, directly back to the entrance. Big teliya Lennon Gongmenkou tour buses that battery, 3 Europe a one-way, that is to say, no matter where you sit, stand off the car, 3 ' ends. Look, I know you from the Grand Palace to the door teliya that point the road is not too long, 4 personal is 12 euro, or province. But then I have some regrets, because people are tired of that point road will look very long! out of Versailles, came to the street of Yang called point slightly and so on for a while, and wait for a taxi. Let drivers directly to the Pompidou Centre, we where there is a friends recommended restaurants: FLUNCH. About this restaurant, users of this: 42 Rue Ste Croix de la Bretonniere 75004 11, Metro station: Rambuteau closed: Saturday and Sunday morning and Monday's choice: 7 heads up, 5 5 main dish, dessert wine, also includes optional! main dish juicy, tasty, France cheapest chain restaurant Flunch-all-you-can-eat! very hard to find the location, Metro station from the Pompidou rambeteau export came out to see the signs ... (It has a different 2 entrance). Flunch really blew the door you can choose beverages and cold drinks or other forms of food, you can then point the main course, noodles or something, then go to the cashier. Then have unlimited buffet eat French fries, vegetables and many called the name of Chinese and Western food. Anyway, I just paid for 6 bucks and buy great piece just fried good ribs, eat fast support. Here's a cold drink is not expensive, banana boat is only 3 blocks of 4. General use of a large plate with a main course, you can freely take other rice, potatoes, vegetables, pasta and things like that. Prices do not package salad, dessert, 3-10. The reason here for dinner, there is a reason can be dropped in a tour of the Pompidou Center. But eaten only experience, this is a simple buffet! full there is no need to specifically go to this place to eat this yucky buffet! this is a failure, but luckily users recommended and not all bad, yesterday's restaurant is very distinctive, if it is naturally to spit blood! the following comment on how carefully I came to this restaurant. First choice-course. LG chose OmeLet that be are fried, but the smell is not good. We have selected several of roast chicken, is already well over there, so it is conceivable that is half hot. Then choose a few vegetables fruit drinks, will go to the checkout. Checkout the waiter asked would you like coffee, I said no, then know that coffee also receive money, $ 1 1 Cup, just do not know whether it is unlimited refill. Bear good account into the restaurant, there is a little counter with some food is free of charge — only so little things for free: French fries, fried potato chips, Italy hollow powder, a bean as bean, white rice, a plate of fried like a cucumber slice or stewed in butter cucumber. It seems, only French fries or you can eat. This dinner is not cheap, 4 personal 41.35 Europe. I'd prefer one person, a hot dog, it's delicious and cheap. Strongly do not recommend this restaurant to eat a dip! I poured the Pompidou Centre are to behind. In fact, the Pompidou Centre is well worth to go there is taste, is not to say, the book describes many of the square behind the Bardo is also very cute. If you have time, you can spend more time here, go early, you can go inside tour of the Centre. But we as late, stomach or hungry, so only cursory to stroll around in a circle, the feeling to the last drop. August 4, Thursday, fine evening go rain today change rooms. Morning produces good, let the front desk help we call a taxi to the North Station. Wait, I tell you, Paris for rent starting from receiving phone began playing table. Sure, when you drove to have 4-Europe (starting 2.1 Europe). But even so in Paris taxi is not too expensive, we from summer Temple here hit North Station is almost across the Centre of Paris, but only 15 euro. Check this out and live the worst Hotel: New Hotel Gare Du Nord. Say this hotel is across from the North railway station, location really cattle, but the room would not have said, there is a smell, the bed was no pillows! this is my first time to live to no pillows hotel. Specifically, is not without a pillow, but he put a strip of packages in the bed volume into a single volume, this becomes a pillow! this room was also severe in Europe, 149! second sky train, couldn't help it. Today's trip is Disney. We decided to go by taxi. Because I was going to Disney among the subway as long as some EU 10, then it means that not far away. Findings of fact, this is a serious mistake. With the taxi meter, the higher the amount, the jump, I thought that this article a under things big. But since we have to sit just throwing that results to Disney, 88 euro! that's a painful lesson, and my daughter said, write travels must write down: go to Disney don't fight! introduction that Paris Disney in Hong Kong Disney built, is the smallest of Disney. The fact is, indeed, also divided into two Park, I feel very inconvenient. Probably Europe only then a Disney's sake, it is not a weekend in the garden are many. We first went to the StUDIO, my daughter at a glance in a jump from the machine, in Disney's inside should be called terrorist Tower. Take a look at the queue, so use very much in advance for booking time, a look that is in the afternoon. Also in other places turned, StUDIO is smaller and go two ring has been transferred in full. So I went to Disney LAND. Disney LAND is relatively large, you can play with something more, but also many more. To be honest, I never had seen in Europe so many tourists, friction rub shoulders, like the back of the heel of the country. Almost every project you want to line up, or use the reservation booking machine machine, but also only three items, so I'd like to take the kids to play with Disney's or go to Hong Kong, after all, the ticket is much cheaper. Tickets for the four of us are Eurostar website reservation, 180.78 Europe. 7: 30 pm, show begins xunjie, but when the rain is coming down, and faster. Fortunately, we've brought an umbrella, we come to Europe for the first time in the future come out to play umbrella, some pride, too predictable! performed nor xunjie Hong Kong look good, like the original in Hong Kong Disneyland, the first performance of shock stunning xunjie feeling for a long time, but not loose in the afternoon and go on tour again. Paris Disney character of the performances, the Group of actors, the length of the float road. Alas, no way, who let a European salaries go back high!, good chose to take the subway. In fact, the subway from Disney to North Station or very smooth, REC A4 line down B or D lines. Four personal 26.8 Europe. On this day, is that spending money wasted no harvest day. 5 August, Friday, Yin today to leave Paris travel to Amsterdam, where we will extract we rent a car, below all self-driving. Heart vaguely excited: finally not down subway hit. Early arrival at the hotel opposite the railway station, staring at a big screen, waiting for our train station. Finally, to the railway station in Paris! no railings, at facilities that only in this way at the end of the platform has a similar punch machine the same thing, to displace the ticket, it lol a print some more data on it, even if checked tickets, self-help, and do not understand it, and see what they get, accordingly. Before, each car following has ticket inspectors, probably because of the international trains. I was also booked seat is also relative to seat four people. I didn't expect it to take a look at the top of the compartment, and the subsequent ordinary seat was a door, that is, a door into the car to drive, left four relative seat, and then open a door in it, is a renowned seat of seat, seemed our seats like a small balcony, a concealed. Another train rumbled forward away, this time we are going to start a time up to 9 days of transnational self-driving, interested friends continue to lock my travels next: European Tour 3 – Trinidad self-driving (1)
