Tuesday November 2nd 2010Rome-Paris  On Tuesday we got up at about 3:30am and walked to Termini station to catch our bus. After my awesome direction skills from the day before i was kind of worried we wouldn’t get there in time, but we turned out to be fine, and some policemen in a patrol car stopped us along the way just to check we were alright and knew where we were going. We caught our 4:50am Terravision bus to the airport and, before we went through security we remembered we had a few orange juice boxes to drink. So we downed them quickly, then, once we were through security, went to line up at our gate, so by the time we got on the plane we REALLY needed the bathroom. Luckily for us (not) we were told that our plane was going to be late leaving so we had to beg the air hostess to let us use the bathroom while we were still on the runway. so theres a tip for you, never down a litre of orange juice before getting on a flight.. yet another blonde moment for us!! So after our plane left late, we arrrived in Paris late then jumped on a coach from Beauvais to Porte Maillot at the edge of the city. Then we got on the metro (after, yay!, another queue for the ticket machine) and went to Pigalle, the metro station near our hotel, to meet up with Hannah!  We were too early to check into our hotel so we left our bags there and wandered up to the Sacre Coeur, and took a look at all the souvenir shops nearby. When we finally were able to check into our hotel we discovered that the beds were tiny! Hilariously tiny! We settled in then headed to Galeries Lafayette for some shopping and to check out the awesome xmas display. All the walking we had done left us exhausted so we headed back to the hotel to rest for a bit then went to find a restaurant for dinner. Hannah had a craving for French onion soup so we found a place called Le Select and all had soup, Hannah french onion and me and samme tomato :) very yummy!  Unfortunately i didn’t take my camera with me on our wanderings so the photo of Samme and Hannah on their stupidly small bed is the only one i have for this day!
