Tuesday. o.0

Okay, so this is my second day in France. ^.^
We got up pretty early, and had breakfast at 7:30. I don't remember what I had, don't ask me. xD Then we left to go to the food market on the bus, but we were an hour late and missed it. o.0 xD So THEN we went on a boat trip down the river Thingy. ;\ No, I don't remember the name. xD Anyway, we were waving to all the people on the bridges, and the other boats. :D And we were yelling "Bonjour!" xD There were some Chinese ladies on the boat, and they took my picture lots! o.O; It was weird. xD They were really nice though, and they gave me some PRUNE flavoured sweets! o.O; They were surprisingly tasty. :P Then later on, me and my friends were waving at another boat and saying hello in lots of different languages. I said "Ni hao!" which is Chinese, and they instantly all rushed over asking me if I spoke Chinese. xD Which I don't. o.e;
This is the boat. :D You can see the Chinese ladies in the background, and the Eiffel Tower! 8D

This is a picture of the decoration on one of the millions of bridges we went under. :D Yes, that's real gold.

After the boat trip, we had a packed lunch in the park. :D THEN we went up the Eiffel Tower! 8D
A view of the tower from the boat.
We went up in a big lift really fast. I thought it was kind of scary because it was crammed full of people, and it went up so quickly. x3 When we got to the top, there were lots of shops. I didn't buy anything in the shops because it was REALLY expensive, but I bought a pain au chocolat in one of the cafés. :D The view was really pretty, and I took two pictures. See;




And then when we came down I took this one;


Then we went to the Notre Dame cathedral. Not to be rude, but I thought it was kind of boring. xD
Then we got back to the bus. 3: The teachers played a trick on us and said we weren't going shopping (That was the plan.), and instead we had to go to a cemetery. xD They were really bad actors. .-.
Then we went up a hill and DID go shopping. xD I bought a chocolate crepe (a kind of French pancake), and a t-shirt with a cat's face on it that said "PARIS" in diamanté letters. ^.^

When we got back to the academy, we played a treasure hunt game in French. o.e It was really difficult. xD

Bonjour! ^.^

I'm back from Paris! It was AWESOME! I took loads of pictures, and did loads of stuff, which I will attempt to tell you ALL about, and I'll show you all the pics. 83

Monday:
Well, TECHNICALLY Sunday, seeing as I didn't go to sleep. At about midnight I was on here, posting the previous very excited post. x3 My parents took me in the car to school at 12:05, and we arrived at 12:10. On time, for once. x3 I had to wait around with my friends for about 20 minutes, until the bus came. I put my big red suitcase on the bus, and hugged and said goodbye to my parents. >83 Then Sarah gave me an early Easter egg, which I gave to my parents to save until I got back. :D

Anyway, then I got on the bus with my friend Fran. We were all waving to our parents as the bus left. ;_; xP But then we started mucking around. .-. Until the bus driver turned the lights off and the teachers told us to go to sleep. Bleh. Anyway, Fran fell asleep, so I was talking with the people on the aisle next to us. :D A.K.A, Becca, Sarah, Zoe, Abby, Alice, and probably someone else. 3: Eep, sorry person-who-I-forgot. Anyway, apparently we were being really noisy, because when we FINALLY got to a service station, we were told off by the teachers. T.T Oopsy. Then we travelled for another few hours until we got to Dover. :D It was a LONG way, because I live up at the North of England, and Dover is down in the South. :P

The ferry was REALLY wobbly. o.e A bunch of people were nearly sick, and there was a picture of a skinny man who only eats seaweed and sea-fairies. 8D (Inside joke. x3 Hi, Alex and Kate! ^^)

Then we got back to the bus. We were in FRANCE! 8D It was really sunny, and warm. :3 Zoe had never been abroad before, but she said it was EXACTLY how she imagined France would be like. :D And Fran did my hair! 8D I didn't have any hair bobbles, but I brought some ribbon to tie around my neck, so she used that. Lookie! 8D:

When we got to the boarding school we were staying at, it was SO POSH! 8D But in France it wasn't the Easter Holidays yet, so there were big French people milling around. xD I was dancing and saying "Je suis une pomme-de-terre! 8D", which means "I'm a potato!" xD I got a few funny looks, because I was wearing my usual crazy outfits, and my lemon hat. x3 Eheh.

Then we got to go to our rooms! 8D I was in a room with Emily, Becca and Sarah. :3 It was a really nice room, with four beds (Duh.), three wardrobes, a desk with two chairs, a toilet and a bathroom. 8D





o_O Woah. And that was only Monday. xD I guess I'll post Tuesday on a new post. :P

FRANCE! 8D YAY YAY YAY!

I'm so excited! x3 I'm going on a school trip to Paris in, what, 3 hours? x3 YAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
:D :D :D Teeheeheehee! I'm all packed, but there is one thing...MY HAIR HAS GONE POOFY! Dx It was fine on Friday, but ever since it's been a big poofy mess of random curls. T^T I've washed it, like, six times, with the conditioner which made my hair straight before, but it doesn't seem to be working anymore. T.T And I'm not allowed hair straighteners. :3 Oh well, maybe one of my roomies in France will have brought some I could borrow. :P
Oh yeah! I'm back on Thursday, and there WILL BE PICS. :3 So there's something to look forward to. That is, if you like looking at random pictures of Paris from some random girl from the internet. xD Unless you know me in real life. :P
