Contiki camping tour
on poppies's travel map.
We reached Paris in late afternoon after 2 hrs of ferry ride from Dover where the white cliffs are and 6 hrs of coach ride.
Once we reached the campsite, we were taught how to pitch our tents where we will need to do every 2 days. It will be easy as long as you find the right "spot" to plant the nails.
After that, we were out on the coach for a ride in the "City of Lights". I was completely smitten by the Eiffel Tower. It has such an amazing structure of steels!
The next morning, we went up the Eiffel Tower. It was so cold up on top. As there are a lot of people and the lift could only hold a certain no of people, we were there for like a total of 4hrs which mean half a day gone for us.
We were unable to rest as we only have today to see the whole of Paris. We visted the Notre Dame where we see lots of stained glass windows.
We walked thru the shopping district with big brands like LV, cartier etc to Arc De Triomphe. The night before, our coach driver made 7 rounds around the Arc which is pretty cool!
Last of all, we visited the Louvre, only outside as we have no time to go in. That is where Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is stored. The
collections in Louvre is so much that it will take days to finish!
