the ninth day - paris

woke up early to join the Famous Paris Free Tour around paris historical places. it was fun to follow such a tour for several reasons. first, due to the fact it's free and the tour guide works on tipping, they will try their very best to make it an entertaining tour to their group of people. therefore, expects lot of interesting and funny stories for the next three hours of the walking tour. two, it's the first time i follow such a tour and there's no rules and regulation to follow. you can take your own sweet time to snap photos and join up with the group because they will stop now and then for some entertaining stories. thirdly, it's very informative and you're able to mix with variety of people and therefore more fun.

after the walking tour ended, bro took us to the Paris Chinatown by metro to have our lunch, vietnam style.. wonderful meal and one of the very few that mom loves during her entire trip. their beef noodle soup is superb!! it really makes my saliva dripping. no wonder bro and sis will not miss coming here every time they come to Paris.

after our lunch cum tea break, we took metro back to Eiffel Tower to take some pictures before night arrive.. too bad for us because during winter, daytime tends to be very short and by the time we reached Eiffel Tower, it's already dark...so we some pictures and then rush for our river cruise..wonderful cruise and good for sightseeing while cruising along the river.

Notre Dame Cadtheral attracted our interest while on the river cruise

when we meet up with bro and sis after the cruise, we told them about Notre Dame that we saw while during cruise..both of them decided to bring us there by foot.. it's quite near if you really know the roads well. this cathedral is a wonderful building and i totally fall in love with it.. here are some of the pics we took at Notre Dame..
