C' était une aventure

Sarah and I left on the 4:10 shuttle and we arrived in time to the train station to catch our train, we sat at a table seat with a mother and daughter, they were very nice and talked to us. When we arrived in London we got a taxi and asked him to take us to London Lutton, much to our surprise he said they didn't have that, and after correcting our mispronunciation we agreed it was "louton", and he said very surprised and rudely that it was very expensive and we couldn't get there in time for our plane. At that moment I felt like I was going to puke and cry and scream all at the same time! Luckily Sarah was there to basically hold me together. So we called grace who found us a customer service number and we called and the lady said as long as we got there within 2 hours after our flight departed we would be able to make it on the next available flight for £50. So we  went to the victoria bus station and tried to get a bus to paris for £56, but it was full so ended up getting a coach from the Victoria coach station and took it to Lutton for only £15 per person. We made it within our 2 hours and we cannot check in until 4 am, so we are just buying our time and stocked up on caffeine and got is a sandwich and were watching pearl harbor until the bar closed. Then we went to burger king and got onion rings and used the ketchup because they didn't taste very good and much to our surprise the ketchup tasted like barbecue  sauce! And now we are just sitting and waiting until 4 am to check in and then wait for our 7:50 am flight.

         Sarah and I successfully stayed awake until after we checked in, then I fell asleep for about 15 min. After we boarded the plane Sarah slept on the way to Paris, I think I may have too. When got off the plane we got our Paris stamp and went on our way to Disneyland!! We stayed there for about an hour, hour and a half. It was much much smaller than downtown Disney in Orlando, but cool nonetheless. After that we took the RER to Montmartre and to Sacre Coeur, we went inside and it was beautiful! After that we walked through the Montmartre area looking for our hostel, after we found it, much further than we had originally expected, we took a nap, then went to find food, and came back ate and went to bed. 

         We woke up this morning and had a French breakfast a baguette and a croissant. We then headed to sainte Chappelle, the upper Chappell was just breath-taking! After sainte chappelle we saw the outside of Notre Dame and accidentally cut in line to get in, so we didn't go in, it was an hour wait, so we went to the Louvre saw the outside then we t to see the mona Lisa and the Venus de milo ate in the louvre and then headed to Versailles. We walked around the royal apartments, and the Hall of mirrors and then spent a little time in the garden, although there were not any flowers in bloom it was still cool to see how they were set up. After Versailles we went back and saw the Eiffel tower, then headed to the arc du triumph and climbed every single step to the top. After coming down we saw veterans under the arc du triumph. We then walked down the Champs Elyssess, then headed back to the hostel and ate dinner and went to bed.  

         We woke up and went to the eiffel tower viewing deck, took some beautiful pictures and then walked around listening for English speakers to do a front row foundation picture with us.

 We then went back to montmatre to get some cheap souivneers, and headed to the airport. We had pizza hut for lunch, and waited to check in. We went to the gate to check in, but didn't understand where security was, then we figured out after you check in, you just go out through to your gate and that's where security was. After sitting there for about 1 hour we found our plane was 30 min late. After being on the plane and it almost landing we found we could buy a train ticket from Luton to st. Pancras, we had 12 min to get from st. Pancras to kings cross and collect our tickets, we did it, we ran along our train and boarded in the dining car and made it back to grantham!
