Day 4 30/06/12 L'Arc , Versailles , Wax Museum & SeineRiver Ride

We got up super early , had our breakfast (croisant we bought yesterday). We left our hotel at bout 645, and about it's already super bright. Another cold summer morning at Paris.... superb~!

Auber station.... no much people at this hour...

 We took the RER then switch to metro , first stop L'art de Triomphe , we reached bout an hour later ,we took a few pictures there , and we didn't waste too much time there... But the view was superb , to be frank , still didn't believe that I'm really in PARIS~

This looks like a painting , but believe me it's not~!!!!!!!! It's a real thing right infront of my eyes~!

 

Breakfast for the second time , we wanted to try how the bread taste like , and we weren't disappointed , it was delicious , we loved it~!! YUM~!!

*We bought it at Bonne Journee , something like delifrance here , when we came into the subway after visiting the L'arc , and it was so so so cold that day.







We started going to Versailles to see the castle at 845am and reached bout 945, and the view of the castle was damn beautiful~!!!!!!!!!!!!

But..... but .... there are so many people there , tons of tons of tourist like us wanted to get into the castle ..... and so we thought we could use our Paris Pass to 'jump queue' ... but NO~! we were wrong again , that just saves us the time for getting a ticket in , we had to queue up like everyone else that just bought tickets , but there is 3 alternatives if you wanna get in quicker , 1. u must be handicap or a fren that is 2. elders 3. in groups .... all doesn't apply to me , so i had to queue.... queue...

The golden gate of The palace of Versailles~!!!!

Once we got inside , there is only one way in, and one way out , i think that's the way to control traffic , since there are tons of tons of tourist buzzing in at a time , and it's super noisy , stuffy and cramped with human that day, not liking it a bit
WORST my fren got separated from us , and how the hell are we going to find her?!? for more than half an hour , we looked .. and looked , 'best' thing it's only one way... so i can't really go back and look for her , because there are people sitting at the exhibition room entrance ,   I got super frustreted~!!Arghh~ so stressful ,off all places , we got lost in Versailles , can you believe it~! Lucky we found her , but i missed everything , i didn't have the mood to look at the art or watso ever`!!!! I was Pissed off ....... * turns out she didn't think it was a problem and was looking and taking photographs where we were busy looking for her, being worried for her .... pffhh

Pink feather heli , a modern art by somemore.. i forgot... ^^

The again we wanted to visit the Versailles  castle's garden , we thought we could use our Paris pass , but HELL NO~!! Again , we had to get additional tickets , which we didn't. So we ended up taking photos outside the garden~! It doesn't matters , as long as i had seen it ~ I had been here that's all that matters~!!

*ps : the garden is gigantic~!!!!!* I wonder how many gardeners work on it daily...

After Versailles , we were hungry , so we went to the nearby McD to take our lunch , was so looking for it until i Saw the menu , no pork , nvm it's also expensive, end up i ordered beef burged since it's the cheapest *ala carte*

And one more thing the McD is small and congested~!!! full with people~! And there was a couple queuing up behind us , the look sweet together , and they were cuddling there while queuing up , ignoring everyone around them....

After McD , we saw Starbucks and so we decided to try , bought(cafe de la semaine) coffee of the week , in the end , it's just plain black coffee , but never mind we added lots of milk and sugar , and it turned to Nescafe in the end~! XD

We posed with the our drinks a little hahaha .. it's fun doing so, but i admit , i'm no good at posing, in fact i think it sucks~!!

We then walked to the train station so that we could get to our next destination, Grevin wax museum... when we reached the train station , we saw the train waiting there and nobody was there yet, empty train~!! YAY~ we took this opportunity to take some pictures with the train SNCF ....

Who knew , Musee Grevin was just beside Hard Rock Cafe , the place we collected the paris pass , Funny thing was , we asked someone where the museum was while we were standing right infront of it , didn't realise it was there the first time we passed by...

In the musseum , we had a superb time , there are some wax figures that we are familiar with and some that we are not~! But still we took tons of photos there , some that was really funny and ridiculous , we just went crazy and had fun there  <3

Can't remember what we were thinking then to come up with this pose~ hahah

Do i Blend in??!?! XD

Lots of crazy pics was taken and i bought a medallion there , left as it was closing . When we left the museum , the exit was in the middle of a streets , looks old and vintage , but still sells nice and expensive stuffs. It was on the both side of the streets , a small streets yet so beautiful , some selling very interesting thing , for example , there was a stall selling furniture , clothes , and accessories , for dolls and doll houses , so petite and nice~!! We just had to take one picture there before heading to the next destination , in fact we were in a little rush for the Seine river cruise , a thing that we have been postponing because we were lack of time, everything closes early in Paris , Latest 9pm, tourist attrations , latest would be about 7pm T.T

 We mange to take the seine river ride~! And as planned we would drink our coke and eat cheese that we bought there~! Perfect~! It was just an hour rive along the Seine river , in my opinion , not enough at all~!!

During the boat river , once again we get to see all the Famous tourist attraction at Pairs , the eiffel tower , L'arc de triomphe , the pont de neuf of course , we were pasing under the bridge , pont d'arc, champs de mars and lots more of course... Interesting and Fun , i am never going to get tired of seeing all these magnificant views~!! 

Besides we also say people parading and singing at one of the bridges , and i found out , it was a pride parade ... terrific~!!! Freedom of speech is really practiced in France i see

Pride parade on the bridge

After the Seine river cruise , we all needed to go to the toilet , and when we found it , there was a queue , we thought we could wait , but there are a bunch of people infront of us that just increase by number from time to time , they just cut queue like nobodies f***ing business~! PISSED ME OFF~~!! they just did it like it was meant for them to do that .

Lucky we changed to another toilet no far ,but still we had to wait for 40 minutes~! And we weren't the only one frustrated just because we wanted to use the toilet , the punk lady behind us was frustrated and pissed too ... The reason for using so much time just to use a toilet is because ....... The toilet is AUTOMATED~!!!! It will clean up everytime someone uses it and it takes time that's why....

streets of chelles at 10pm

Because of the toilet issue earlier , we were late and there wasn't any bus any more , but fortunately a lady bus driver told us how to walk to our hotel~!! We were grateful , because then we don't need to worry that they wouldn't be any bus to our station~ WE COULD FINALLY WALK to our hotel , although it's 15-20 mins , but i enjoy every moment walking because the scene from the parc and the streets was just BEAUTIFUL... Ahhhh this place is just freaking B-E-A-U-T-I-FUL!!
