eurotrip - selfie series I

yeay Etihad Airways!

paris V - walt disney studios & disneyland paris

it's almost july, and this is getting pretty pathetic lol.

i'm determined to finish my eurotrip posts with this entry.

jyeah! haha.

this is my first disneyland, ever.

and it did not disappoint.

:)

ratatouille
this is paris, after all

one of the good rides yeay

paris IV - champs élysées & place de la concorde

walking down champs elysees

queueing in front of laduree,
turns out there were two entrances.
laduree was born in paris,
so for those who are a fan of macarons,
this vintage-y place is a must!

baked goods

what we're here for - macarons!

seriously, they create art.

paris III - sacre cœur & arc de triomphe

this is the view from my airbnb apartment window.
i love love love these window shutters.
so abundant in amsterdam, switzerland, and now paris.
every morning and evening, i will be the one to open and close them :)

the view from sacre cœur, montmarte.
also gray, also wet.

sacre cœur basilica.
one fancy fact about it:
this basilica was built with a stone called travertine,
which continuously exude calcite.
this causes the basilica to remain white, despite weather and pollution.

it's a really great view of paris from here,
i wish it hadn't been so rainy..

paris II - notre dame & eiffel tower at night

place dauphine,
a square in ile de la cité

cafes surrounding the square
and people playing football
(although there was a sign saying no ball-playing)

fontaine saint-michel from afar
i didn't cross the road because there was so many cars!
and also, my legs hurt

cool lady in red, reading a book, hanging out alone, minding her own business

notre dame

i look awkward. as always. sheesh.

paris I - rainy eiffel tower, musee du louvre, pont des arts

this post is so late, i know. 

i have been procrastinating. 

 anyway, i've loved paris since forever. 

the buildings are pretty, 

eiffel tower is dreamy. 

we mostly traveled with metro and RER, 

and honestly, not a nice experience. 

take a HOHO if you wish to see the city more.

i do love the old metro signs

bad luck, bad weather.
paris was cold and grey and wet.
but there's not many pictures of eiffel tower on a cloudy day.

even worse luck, there's some sort of renovation going around trocadero.. sigh

la fayette
did you know that there are two buildings:
one for the ladies and one for the men?

the interior though, so exquisite

this is.. the opera? i forgot. haha.

switzerland IV - interlaken

we went to interlaken just for shopping,

my suggestion would be to head somewhere near interlaken west

as there seems to be more place to shop around the area.

lauterbrunnen is not for shopping, there's barely any shop there.

spent less than 3 hours here,

but the view around interlaken west is lovely :)

mum and flowers can never be separated

cuckoo clocks

swiss army knife
the cheapest one i found is CHF20

watches

where else you can walk around town with that view..

switzerland III - schilthorn piz gloria

people usually go to interlaken/lauterbrunnen for one of two reasons:
schilthorn or jungfrau.
schilthorn is famous for being a james bond movie shooting location,
jungfrau is top of europe.
i chose schilthorn because some say the view is better,
and also it's significantly cheaper :)

small stopover on the way to schilthorn - already 2677 m!

so many skiers

cable car
possibly one good thing about the whole ride up being foggy,
you can't see just how high up you are..
anyone with fear of heights? :P

nearing the top, when the clouds finally clear

schilthorn

the alps!
