I
came to Europe for the first time. I landed in Europe. First thing that I noticed
is feel of cool breeze even in Metro stations and Train station. I came in the
Month of August, Most pleasant time to travel in Europe. With chirping Birds,
blossoming aromatic flowers, fresh Asparagus Spring is always beautiful in any
part of the world.
I came to
Europe for 7 days. Stayed in Munich for 4 days and Paris 3 days. Let me try to
cover Paris in this Blog. I travelled along with my friend. His travel plans
are always “More with Less” Concept. He always plans so many places for a
single day and he makes sure that we don’t run out of places to see.
In my
lifetime, this trip is very special. I can’t ask anything more from this trip:
Love, affection, Excitement, Astonishing moments, walking, admiring, food and
finally good sleep.
Firstly we
took a night bus from Munich to Paris. We reached Paris early in the morning
and we straight away went to hotel for check-in. The Hotel was very close
Eiffel tower. At around midday, we left the room and we say the real face of
Paris: Eiffel tower, Stunning Engineering Marvel of our time.
Prioritized list places to visit in Paris.
