Destination - - Paris, France

For the very first time, I have visited Paris with my lovely Triad and cousins. We left at 7am and after 3 hours of train ride we arrived at the Paris-Gare de Lyon!

It was perhaps because of our excitedness or our sense of orientation was really and truly bungled or the mere fact that metro signs were like chinese to us--we got lost in the metro for over two hours--yes, I repeat--two- %&£#@!! hours!!You might be wondering how on earth could this happen to minded ladies like us. Well, I also wonder!

But at least we were able to go to Trocadero, had our pictures snapped in front of Eiffel Tower, visit a bit of Champs Elysée and walk along Boulevard de Clichy up to the hotel (the traffic was terrible!)

It seemed like watching a film in the fast-forward mode. I still haven't had the time to take it all in that I found myself queueing up to get our train back home! This time we were two hours early--worried that we might miss our metro stop again.

Well, I feel like an experienced metro rider now. So the next time I visit Paris, I would never,ever get lost...never! Anyone wants to tag along with me? But bring a navigator, please...just in case!!

Vacation over

It's kinda hard to get up early again after 2 weeks of staying up late.I've started taking the girls early to bed and of course, they're awake at around 6h30. My husband on the other hand has started working and I think he misses his late mornings. Now it's back to normal sched again. Now, I'm lazily doing my chores and still hoping that my mug of coffee will take effect soon. How do you get back to normal routine after weeks of vacation?

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin...

The rasta-inspired creation of my hubby and Ms.K After loads of rolling here and there, it's done. Our first snowman of the season.;)It might not last long and will surely lose its precious eyes by tomorrow, but for now let's enjoy that smile. This reminds me of something, I just can't put my finger on it. Hmmm, do you have any idea? Think...think...! Eh-oh! Smile, it's Monday!
