On our way to Paris

So as you can probably imagine I took A LOT of pictures in Paris, the majority of them were of the Eiffel Tower, but they were taken.  Therefore, not to overwhelm this one blog with tons of photos, I decided to make 3 different blogs. 

Now where did we leave off....oh yeah, boarding our train in Munich.  Ok so like I said we hoped on our train as planned.  Since we already had an idea of what was going to happen and it was late, we didn't waste much time before we went to sleep.  I started out this time on the bottom bunk with Jeremy, but eventually moved up to the top.  It was just too uncomfortable to be crammed with another person on a one person bed.  I awoke the next morning around 6:30am and decided to take a shower.  Hahahah that was entertaining.  For one thing there was zero water pressure and being able to shampoo your hair while moving on a train is an art that one must master before attempting.  After getting out as much conditioner as possible I got out and prepared myself for a day in Paris!  


Looking out the back of the train
We pulled up to the train station around 9:30am and walked to the metro to catch our subway train to the hotel.  Actually finding the hotel once we got to the stop was another story.  As you know the stations are under ground, so when you emerge from below you have no idea where you are or any kind of sense of direction.  It also didn't help that we were at an intersection where like 6 different streets intersected.  We walked in a complete circle before we finally figured out where we were and where we had to be.  

We went in and left our bags then headed out for breakfast.  We came back at noon and were finally able to check into our room.  Our room was small, but it was nicely decorated and made it feel fancier than it really was.   Overall I'm happy with our stay there and I can't complain.  After a brief break and plan we headed back out on the town....
