See The World: Paris-London (Part IV)

So, the next day, we took the early morning Eurostar train back to Paris where we were going to stay for 2 more nights before returning to Singapore. :((

Those 2 days were really very relaxing days cos there wasn't much we wanted to see in Paris anyway. I don't know why, but we weren't interested in the usual famous tourist attractions like the Pantheon, Sacre-Coeur etc. But one thing KU wanted to do was to photograph the Eiffel Tower at night. But I didn't want to go to the Eiffel Tower at night cos I've heard horror stories of the streets becoming exponentially more dangerous when it gets dark and I wasn't about to take any risk.

So we visited the Eiffel Tower in the day.

The Tower with gloomy skies

After that, we visited the Invalides museum (or Musee de l'Armee), where Napoleon's Tomb is. The entrance fee to the tomb was EUR15 per pax (if I didn't recall wrongly) and cos we were too cheapo to pay for the ticket, we tried to find neglected doorways which would lead us to the tomb. Hehe.. (There was free entry to some of the other parts of the museum.) But to no avail, so KU made do with taking pictures of the exterior of the museum.

Had a nice walk from the METRO station

While we were waiting to the train back to our hotel, I saw that that particular station we were at had very nice mosaic art on its ceiling. It made me wish that Singapore's MRT stations didn't look so sterile. BUT. After experiencing the train system in Paris, I'm grateful for the efficiency we have back home.

And we ended our day with a good meal at the hotel cafe, which served very decent food.

The next day, it was shopping in the morning at Galeries LaFayette and Pierre Herme, and to the airport and home sweet home!
