Monday, November 20, 2006 Bonjour!I'm back from France. A tiring but on the whole, a pretty good trip. Spent about 8hours in Amsterdam (Holland), 4 days in Paris, 5 days in Bordeaux & about 5hrs in San Sebastian (Spain). Weather was cold & especially so at Disneyland Paris and in Lourdes but it sure is a clear respite to the hazy Singapore. Amsterdam was pretty cold as we reached there at about 5am in the morning and had to catch the transit flight out to Bordeaux only at 3pm. Luckily the people there speaks English, so getting around was quite easy. Paris was however, I felt, overstated. Didn't feel any magic there. Shopping sucks, food sucks and luckily we have my sister who helped to 'navigate' the Metro system. But still it was an experience! On the whole, we had McDonald's on almost all our daily meals (i.e. either for lunch or dinner) cuz food is expensive and not easy to find food outlets / restaurants. Didn't buy much except for a few souvenirs items for myself & mainly chocolates for gifts. But my most lavish buy was an LV bag (the latest collection of it's monogram speedy bag in off-white). Cost me about S$800 but think it's still cheaper than in Singapore. Also managed to see my niece. Aiyo..she's so cutttee!!! She's a happy baby...smiling & 'talking' to you...well at least after she has taken her nap & milk feed, hehee. Anyway, I'll upload some photos taken during the trip once I have the time. |
