Bonjour, mes petites noix de coco! (I'm back!)

Fri Jul 08, 2005 5:04 pm

Yup. On Sunday I have to drag myself out of bed at quarter past 4 in the morning to go to school by 5am. Doesn't sound very promising, hmm? Well, the reason I'm gonna be there so early is because I'm going to France! ^_^ We're staying for 6 days! In fact, I'm bored so I shall write out where we're going each day:

Day One 10 July

(travelling most of the day)
Vimy Ridge - the site of a First World War battlefield

Day Two 11 July

Cruiseing along the Seine in a 'Bateau Mouche' (I know it's a boat, but it sounds nifty!), where we'll see momuments like the Notre Dame.

Then we're gonna be stuffed back into our coach, drive past the Arc de Triomph and go down Champs-Elysees where we'll have a picnic :)

Day Three 12 July

Going to Monmatre where we will visit the Sacre Coeur.

After lunch, go to the Stade de France for a guided tour.

Visit the Air and Space Musuem.

Then we're gonna go to La Defense, which is basicly this place with loads of modern sculpture stuff.

Day Four 13 July

Spend the morning at AquaBoulevard (water park).

After lunch we're going to a restaurant that makes the scrummiest pancakes EVER!

Then we're doing a boring work study in the food market.

Then we're going to Paris where we're gonna go up the Eiffel Tower.

After that, we're going to have a tour of Paris by night.

Day Five 14 July

Spend the day at Asterix Park (a theme park :)...although the hotel we're staying at is 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM DISNEYLAND but they're too stingy to let us go there :()

Day Six

Go home.


------------

So, err, there you go. Of course it wouldn't be an Emma visit if there wasn't hillarity involved ;) Me and the girl I'm sharing a room with intend to pull off an all-nighter on the last night, so that we can sleep on the coach getting back home. Staying awake all night with one of the looniest girls EVER = funfunfun :3

And there are haribo involved.


I've got 3 disposable cameras on hand, and I plan to make a nice report for you all when I get back :)

I've got almost everything packed, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas of what I could do on the coach, since we're on it most of the day wen we're coming and going. We're going on the Eurostar (little train that goes underground), but it takes hours to get there. Then we have to go through France to go to the little place we're staying. I'm gonna pack my personal cd player and stuff, but what else could I do?


Sope, au reviour, I'll miss y'all! :3 (or whatever that is in French)

*hugs*

Have fun! Pack an extra toothbrush! Don't talk to strangers! Take loads of pictures! Bring me back an onion!

I'll miss you, mon cherie. :)

I wish I for once had more than a weekend to spend in Paris, but hey, I saw more in two days than you're going to see in six so I guess we had quite a high speed when we were there :D (my school group, the first time I visited Paris).

It's a lovely city and I surely hope you're going to enjoy yourself. However, really a pity you're only seeing Notre Dame on the Bateau Mouche, it's worth visiting inside as well :) And what about the Louvre?

Oh ok, I'll shut up, your trip sounds great already :D Au revoir et j'éspère que tu t'amuses beaucoup!

You and the damned coconuts!

I wish I could go with you. I'd love to go to Montmartre. But only so I could sneak off to the Moulin Rouge, of course.

Moulin Rouge.. never visited that, just walked by, but the prices are outrageous, almost 100€/show. Meh.

:o And I read this just after I read Leroux: Condensed to boot. You lucky coconut.

Unfortunately, none of the... you know, Phantomy... things appear to be on that list, but maybe you'll pass the Palais Garnier on the night tour, eh? It sounds awesome. :D

And, um, dang. L'Envy.

Anubis, I am NOT a cherry :( You silly banana!

Chass, you can stowaway in my suitcase :D


I now have an mp3 player <33 I'm in love. And also, that means I can take more songs with me - phwoar, fear mee!!

Fri Jul 08, 2005 6:49 pm

That sounds absolutely awesome. I want to be you so much right now. *has been wanting to go to France since she was very very small*

Have fun!

Fri Jul 08, 2005 6:53 pm

Ooo I'd love to go to Paris! Of course I 've been to France but only the small towns instead of the main touristy city areas. Have fun!

Fri Jul 08, 2005 7:05 pm

I find you calling me a Coconut very offensive :x

Just kidding :P . Have fun in France, I want to go so bad! Can you put me in your suitcase?

XDDDD You so silly, Jelly Cherry. ^^;;

Fri Jul 08, 2005 7:17 pm

I think I'm gonna have to buy a bigger suitcase if I'm smuggling all these people into France...:)

Fri Jul 08, 2005 7:34 pm

Have fun, Emma!

Fri Jul 08, 2005 8:36 pm

Emma, where do you live, and what school do you go to?

I'm asking because that trip sounds ALOT like the Trip that one of the years in our school always goes on...
