This was the day after Faizal had his Christmas Lunch at Turnley, Zetty's group had their one day outing in Paris to celebrate the coming Christmas.
We went to Paris by Eurostar from London's St Pancras, newly opened Eurostar terminal after they closed Waterloo terminal. After about 2hrs, we finally arrived at de Nord at 10.30am (untung 1 jam :-D ).From there, we walked to de Louvre, spend few hours in the museum then walked to Eiffel Tower by the river. I really like the architectures; it differs from Britain, I guess the most brilliant is the fancy wrought iron at verandah where you can find almost in every old French building. de Louvre is excellent (as you saw in da Vinci Code), they have thousands of paintings, including the most famous Monalisa which is placed in a glass, and the nearest you can get to her is about 5 metres away.
Tak sah kalau tak pegi Eiffel Tower, so when my supervisor asked me what I want to do next after de Louvre, nothing in my thought other than Eiffel. We got into the highest 3rd platform, paid Euro11.50 and really had a good time with a night scene of Paris (coz during winter cepat gelap walaupun pukul 4 petang). Before returned to London, we had our Christmas Dinner in a restaurant which was >100 years old. Even though I can only eat fish, but still it was the greatest grilled fish I ever had. Merci!!! :flowers:
