2011 Paris, France Travelog 
December 5, 2011
Departing Brussels, we entered Paris via Gard du Nord. A short walk up north lies our BnB. It is a small tiny studio apartment. It is nicely furnished with Ikea furnishing though. It comes with cable TV too. Day 1 in Paris is pretty uneventful, we just had lunch nearby and did our laundry.

Day 2 we went to Musee de Louvre to catch our hop-in hop-out bus. We took the tour around the city to identify area of interest. Walked along Champ Elysee and took some Triumphal Arch pictures. Supposely I have a few more HDR shots of Triumphal Arch but it is spoiled by the moving vehicles. Then we walked around Notre Dame cathedral. It is pretty nice but we did not went in the building as the queue is very long.

Day 3 we again comes to Louvre for our bus. Accidentally found Love Locks Bridge as we were walking around. Snapped a few nice pictures. Today we stopped at National Theatre building. Then I had my best hot chocolate in my life near the Opera house. We also stopped nearby Eiffle Tower to take both wide and up-close pictures with the tower. Last but not least, back to Louvre for its night shot and I liked it!

Day 4 we entered Musee de Louvre via side entrace as we purchased our tickets from Tobacco Shop. If we were to queue like everyone else, I bet we need to wait at least 2 hrs. The sculptures and paintings were magnificent. Especially the paintings. Regarding Mona Lisa, yeah I saw it and took pictures. Frankly, nothing amazing. After Louvre, we took a rest at nearby grassland at Eiffle Tower. Enjoying the view along with many others. Again, my beloved wife is smart enough to purchase tickets online. We skipped another 2 hrs of queue.

Day 5, we went to Disneyland Park. V wanna visit each and every disneyland. So far we only been to Paris's and Hong Kong's. So still have Los Angeles's, Orlando's and Tokyo's to go. Today is a wet day. We did not enjoy it very much as most rides were long queue and some were stopped due to rain. We did manager to do some indoor rides in Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studio. What most disappointing is there are no fireworks performance... Hong Kong's fireworks is spectacular!!
