Day 62 - Versailles/Paris

After several long weeks, I finally have the time to update my blog! I will continue with Paris - Day Three. We had breakfast in the famous Laduree bakery.
Where they had awesome pastries.
Which we had for takeout!
I had a chocolate eclair.
And the FAMOUS macaroons.
With my first bite.
Finally, we arrive in Versailles!
While WALKING, I was already taking pictures.
But we had to have pictures with it first.
And by Napoleon's statue.
And the gate.
Yay, we're here!
With a statue again.
We finally got in!
But we had to take pictures outside first.
The entrance to the palace.
The awesome chapel.
Inside the palace.
Some of the gardens.
And paintings.
Versailles from above.
More of Versailles aerial view.
And more.
The hallway leading up.
Beautiful ceiling.
It's awesome!
Wow, I entered a big room.
With this kind of ceiling above!
With our audio guides.
And more beautiful ceilings.
And statues.
A missing statue?
A bed.
And chandelier.
With Guil, our tour guide. HAHAHA.
More beautiful things.
Right before entering...
...THE HALL OF MIRRORS!
The most beautiful hallway I've ever seen.
Check that out!
It's wild!
In another room.
And dining room?
And a hallway.
By the window.
Ceiling.
Light.
Some rooms were so dark.
And most paintings were HUGE!
See this one?
In another room.
By the stairs.
The ground floor.
With Guil again.

I'm patting the world!
In another room!
Looking up! HAHA.

From afar.
Now we look at the back.
Check out that dog!
It's massive!
Another side.
Better view!
WOW!
Gardens.
Fountains.
With Versailles.
Another perspective.
The view from up.
Right before going to the gardens.
WOW!
We're about to walk.
A long trek.
Down the gardens.
Weird balls.
Another fountain!
It's pretty cool.
That's tiny Versailles in the back.
Resting first because we're so tired!
In the woods.
On the way to Marie Antionette's house.
The fountain was squirting water!
That's her house!
In front of it.
She is spoiled.
With her own paintings.
And a study.
And hallways, of course.
Her bed.
And living space.
More.
Paintings.
That too!
Her own garden.
And hallway.
It's big!
And wide.

What did she need it for?
Yellow room.

In her OTHER house.
Her famous painting.
With it.
More paintings of herself.
She really liked yellow.
Outside in one of the statues.
Then we dropped Guil off in the train station.
And saw the beautiful Eiffel Tower at night.
I couldn't help but look up!
On our way up!
The elevator!
Check out that view!
And that's how it looks below.
YAY!
I am in awe.
You can have Champagne up there!
Simply...
AMAZING!
More pics.
With the view.
Me with it.
And Sanch too.
HAHA.
I have a solo pic!
Drinking beer on top!
Ahhh, we were sooo happy!
We took cliche pictures of our feet.
Still looking out.
That's how far the Philippines is. :(
More pictures.
Yay, the 5 of us!
