Day 4-traveling to Paris




View Paris - Day 4 in a larger map


Today we left Edinburgh on a train at 5:50am headed for London. We went arrived at King’s Cross station as a stopping point on the way to Paris. We needed to get our tickets from London to Paris on the train that goes under the water. This train travels a top speed of 120mph.
Once arriving in Paris we needed to find our hostel—Luna Parc Hotel. We didn’t have a map and Justin quickly looked at one of the maps in the train station so we could find our way—and it was really quickly because we had to turn around a few time. But we did get here. It was around 9 that we got to the hostel so we went to find something to eat and see the Eiffel Tower lit up at night. We ate a French restaurant near the Eiffel Tower. Justin attempted to order penne pasta with tomato sauce a basil but ended up with tomatoes on pieces of mozzarella—at least he tried something other than a burger.
After eating we walked to the Eiffel Tower and took many pictures—and had to dodge many people trying to sell us mini-Eiffel Towers or flowers. As we were walking away from the Eiffel Tower I noticed through some trees that the Eiffel Tower was flashing so we ran back to take even more pictures. I also tried taking some video but I’m not too sure how well it turned out.
