20th June. Reaching for the sky

NOTE:WALKING UP A MILLION STAIRS+WOKEN UP EARLY(AGAIN)+NOT HUNGRY=FULL,TIRED,DEAD LEGS PERSON. We go to go up the Eiffel tower today. Right to the top, I didn't drop Rove though.(School mascot). There are about 600 steps. You can't walk all the way to the top you have to catch a lift to the top. We looked at the view for a bit and went down 'coz my brother wasnt feeling to well. We got icecream before we walked to the Louvre. We didn't go in one 'coz you needed your identity(don't ask me why) and 'coz me and Ben were tired. We had to buy more train tickets so we would actually get to go home. So me and my mum went to look at shops while my brother and dad went to buy tickets. When they came back we hopped on the train and home, we had spagbol for dinner. It's 10:43 and you can still see outside. Can't feel my legs. xoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox Katya

19th June. Time zones and museums.

NOTE:GETTING WOKEN UP EARLY+NOT HUNGRY+FORCED TO EAT+OUT ALL DAY= FULL, TIRED, GRUMPY PERSON Today my mum woke me up early 'coz she said that dad wanted me to into the 'time zone' or something. We only spent about one hour before we went to the train station or METRO and went straight to the museum. The museum was Musée Art et Métiers. It had stuff like old computers,type writers, compasses, clocks,counting machines, Foucalt's Pendulum and a whole lot of other stuff. When we finished looking we caught another train to these gardens. You can see the Eiffel tower from there. They had water fountains with statues of horses.(Don't worry Jean I took photos of them, I'm making you a collage with all the photos I've taken). It had a palace but you weren't aloud inside. It was pretty ugly anyway. You weren't aloud to walk on the grass either. My brother and I were really tired so we went home. We had walked about 10 kilometers. We came home and watched French Loony Tunes.(It made no sense with what they were saying). We went out for dinner at a restaurant called Auberge Pyrénées-Cévennes, but I wasn't HUNGRY. I was forced to eat a bubbling snot looking ravioli.(That's the bit about being forced to eat). But I ate it. Well most of it. It's 11:16 and the sun still hasn't set. xoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxooxoxoxxo Katya

17th of June. Horrible plane ride.

NOTE:PLANE+DISGUSTING FOOD+NO SLEEP= VOMITING,TIRED ANGRY PERSON. I hate going on planes. For some reason they make me feel sick. When I was on the Singapore flight I watched Mirror Mirror. After landing in Singapore, my mum brother and I had at least 2 hours to do what we wanted to. All I wanted was to not throw up. I didn't end up throwing up till the 14 hour flight from Singapore to Paris. I knew that I was gonna spew so I was ready. Because you can watch movies I watched John Carter and a bit of Hugo with my mum.The planes have DISGUSTING food. When we landed in Paris we caught one of those taxis that can have more than one family or person in it. The traffic was horrible. I think we moved 1 meter in 5 minutes. Paris is a very noisy city. Everyone kept honking their horns at each other.(About every 5 seconds). The taxi driver got so mad at the car in front of us the he got outta that taxi and started to yell at the guy in front of us. Eventually the traffic cleared and we got moving again. We were the second group of people to be dropped off. The driver showed us where we were staying but when we arrived the lady who was looking after the house wasn't there. When my mum was going out to find a phone to contact her she came through the door. She just went out to buy us toilet paper. She showed us how to work everything.(Even the T.V.)!!!!! There was only one problem with that... IT'S ALL IN FRENCH... CURSE THE FRENCH PEOPLE... You can watch Dora the Explorer or other weird shows. My dad was in the UK and he arrived today at lunch time. My mum decided it would be a good idea to go for a walk. We walked around the place we were staying called the République. When we realized it was 6 o'clock we walked to the shops before we went home. Soooooo tired. I had a shower 'coz I had been in the same clothes for a several days.have to go to bed now. But thats going to be a bit impossible considering that it is still light outside. It's only 10:00pm. I know right weird. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox Katya

Hi everybody, I'm in Paris. Mr Thompson my teacher wanted me to write a journal about all the stuff I'm doing here. For the last few days I've been writing in a book but my dad said it would be a good idea to write on my blog. I have to catch up with my writing so first I will write about the 17th of June.
