bambam:
ok everyone im sorryy it has been sooo long but the last10 days have been go go go and have not had anyy time to write the blog!! so im going to break down each city now for you...ive got notes..lots and lots of notes lol
ok here goes
MADRID
well we took an awful overnight train from lisbon to madrid which was hell! nooo ac and is smelt like shit.we-re in agreement that overnight trains suck ass!! lol but we made it to madrid and basically we did a quick tour of the city saw the castel and cathedral...another one!! ah and then shopped!! needed some winter clothes as we.re leaving the sun behind in portugal :( in spain we once again had mcd cuz their food is shit and spent the next day pretty much doing the same thing...all in all madrid not so eventful!!
PARIS
sooo we took an all day train to paris with a 4 hour stop over pretty boring!!! ithink ive actually read over 20 books on this trip now and hanas not to far behind!! haha we got to paris at about midnight to our hostel and we were staying in a dorm room with 2 other people...well one was sleeping and one was awake and he was like yelling at us to turn out the light at midnight when all we wanted to do was shower and sleep!!! hana was none to impressed with this asain lol

the next day we woke up early to go ssee the eiffel tower!!! i cant even describe how amazing it was and yesss i know i overexaggerate alot but seriously this was unreal it is hugee and so beautiful!! we stayed there for about 3 hours taking pics, had a crepe with nutella n banana mhhh and it was family fun day at the park there so we checked that out for a bit,..it was such a gorgeous day out but we decided to wait until night time to go up the eiffel tower so we left to go buy souvieners and met thse 2 guys at the stand and they kept giving us deals and then asked us to go out for a glass of champagne with them for his bday! lol so we said we-d come back later and we left to check out some famous street in paris ..cant remmeber the name now tho lol seen so many damn famous streets...its just shopping with a big statue!! lol anyways our feet killed from our new boots so we went back to meet the guys n went for a glass of champagne that he bought hehe so that was cool!! then it was home to get ready for the eiffel tower and going out at night! we decided to wear our new stilleto heals to the eiffel tower and out...why we thought this was a good idea ill never know!! we had to walk in a train station for like 8hrs just to get to another train to get tothe eiffel tower and by the time we GOT there they already hurt!! haha good thing the eiffel tower was absolutely breathtaking that it helped us to forget for a little bit how bad our feet hurt haha we took about a thosand pics of it...i reallly couldnt stop!! then went to the top floor and took more pics!!! it was the most amazingg view...one of the most amazing things we have seen yet even with hurting feet we still enjoyed it soo much! by the time we got down tho we werre both in agreement that we were not going out in these shoes!! so we justsat for a while staring at it and then went home for the night!
the next morning was the louvre!! it was HUGEEEE this building is massive and inside is impossible to navigate!! we went straight for the mona lisa but stopped for pictures of everything along the way lol the mona lisa was pretty cool u cant get very close to it tho and u have to push ur way to the front of the crowd to try and get a picture of it!! but nonetheless it was cool to see such a historical piece of artwork! we also saw a pretty cool tomb of a sphinx and the rest was pictures and statues! after about 3 hrs we were done and hungry!
we went to the eiffel tower,,again!! to have a picnic!! we bought fresh bagettes, salami, and brie cheese and 2 bottles ofwine :) we sat underneath the eiffel tower and ate and drank and talked for about 3hrs!! it was one of the best afternoons we.ve had here and really started to appreciate just how lucky we are to be here!! ihope everyone gets to see the eiffel tower one day it really was soo special.
that evening after the picnic we were a littleee tipsyyy haha sowe had more wine and left over pizza and called it an early night!
BORDEAUX
the next day we left for bordeaux...we didnt get directions to our hotel and got sooo bloody lost and couldnt find a taxi sooo frusterating! but by the time we made it there our hotel was worth it! we had our own kitchen and a bath tub!! lol so after a 2hrs excursion to get damn groceries we both had a bath (seperatly!!) haha and then went to bed for an early day the next day!
we had planned to do a wine tour this day but when we made it to town it was already booked up!! soooo dissapointing seeing how this was one thing i was really looking forward too! but the lady said we could still go to the town and walk around and do wine tasting and see the wine caves and winerys.
sooo that was the only option...hana wasnt feeling up to it so i decided to go alone since i didnt want to miss out on the wine tour. it was a gorgeous little town and i just wondered up the little stone streets and saw rows and rows and rroowss of vines and huge castles. I found the wine caves and went into them...it was crazy!!! ive never seen so much wine in my life!!! bottles and bottles of it lined up everywhere and all full!!!! but i was down there seriously alll alone and i was so freaked out that i didnt stay to long lol after i did a bunch of wine tasting and watched a lil info video on making wine which was reallyy cool! then i just sat in a little park alone and drank some wine and hungout...really not the same drinking wine byurself but it was a really beautiful quiet little town and i really enjoyed myself!
the next day we were leaving for paris to get to munich...welll we didnt plan our time to well and for the first time in europe we missed our train!!! sooo lame luckily a train left in 2hrs so we got on that one and got to paris at 4ish welll we had 1hr at this time to catch another train to cologne where we were meeting ashley to go to munich the next day!! so we hauled ass only to find out it was full!!! thennn we hauled ass to a diff train station to try somewhere else and thatt was full! soo we had to go back to the OTHER train station and try something else!! realllyy very frusterating day! we finally got on a train that got us into cologne at 2am where we were suppose to meet ashleyy butt we couldnt find her sooooooooooo we slept at the train station at mcds!! AHHHH it was so awful...well i didnt sleep hana did just a tiny bit..luckily tho our train leftfor munich at 7am and we found ashley at 655 haha but it all worked out on we were on our way to munich!
