I was the first to wake up that day. I woke up at around 3am just so that i can shower, get ready and finalize everything. We left our place at around 5 in the morning and went straight to the airport. Our flight was actually at 8:50am, however we were informed that we had to be there 2 hours earlier. Though we were still very tired, we couldn’t get rid of our excitement and managed to stay awake the whole morning.
We got a little more excited when we got on the plane and started taking a lot of pictures of ourselves and the view out the window. Eventually, i managed to take a little on the plane, as i only had 3 hours of sleep.
Obviously when we got off the plane and got on the taxi, we started smiling and was astound at the view we were seeing. Just from the taxi itself, we can already see the all wonderful buildings of Paris, and of course, the Eiffel Tower as well.
When we arrived at our hotel, we left straight away to go to the Eiffel Tower, which was a few minutes walk from our hotel. However, we decided to stop at a Chinese Restaurant first as we could already hear our stomach rumbling. Afterwards we went to the Eiffel Tower and took pictures.
We later decided to go on a City Sightseeing Bus Tour and paid for a 2 day trip. We got to see everything and learn a little of the famous buildings’ history.
The weather started to become better but warmer. We weren’t dressed properly for that weather in Paris, but though this was the case we still went on and was still motivated to tour around. We stopped at the Notre Dame afterwards and went inside to see the whole of Notre Dame.
We later rested at this beautiful park nearby and later got a few drinks as were already thirsty and tired. We later went back on the bus and stopped at Trocadero, which is a beautiful place with the view of the Eiffel Tower.
We took pictures, ate crêpes and gazed at the beautiful view. Afterwards, we walked back to the Eiffel Tower, then later ended our day with a dinner at a Spanish Restaurant close to our hotel. It was already late when we got back at our hotel, however we could not stop talking about how beautiful Paris is. We later charged all our phones and cameras, ready for the second day of our Paris trip.
