Ok lets finish this off!!
Back to Paris.....
|
Atop of Notre Dame where the bell is |
|
This is the tiny little door you have to go through to see the bell :) |
|
Notre Dame at night--- check out those flying buttresses |
|
The top of the hill you can see Sacre'- Coeur Basilica |
|
We loved all the gargoyles on the Notre Dame

Can't go to Paris with out seeing the Eiffel Tower lit up at night |

Again my love of ornate ceilings-- can you imagine this in your house?

One of my favorite rooms in the Louvre-- I love sculptures!

Latin Quarters-- across the river from Notre Dame |
|
Stairs to the top of the Arc de Triomphe |

From the top of the Arc de Triomphe-- view of Eiffel Tower at sunset |

I said great shopping right?? Well we found the original Christian Louboutin store!! A girl can dream right?
London!!
As great as Paris was we were more than ready to speak English and truly know what foods we were ordering :) The summer Olympics were going on while we were in London so it made everything very busy but to see that many cultures all jammed into one city at a time it truly was amazing. We could sit at breakfast at our hotel and hear 10 languages being spoken around us. We loved all the excitement and team spirit of Team GB.
We were able to go and watch the bike portion of the Men's Triathlon for free!!
This is the Olympic Mascots-- Weird I know!
Houses of Parliament- View from the London Eye
Night Time ride on the London Eye
London Eye
Here is the Tower Bridge with the Olympic rings
Tower Bridge at night
The first picture is of a building that inspired the First Tiered wedding cake!
The Underground!
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
We went to see one of Shakespeare's plays
This is inside the Globe Theatre
London Hotel- it is a renovated train station
Look like Harry Potter???
Well look what was across the street :)
Chris was in heaven
Ok we can all take a deep breath now-- our trip is done and we are now back in the states. As sad as we were to have it all come to an end, to be honest we were both wiped out! Traveling through Europe is not sitting on a beach reading a good book, it was busy busy morning to night. We loved every moment together exploring and learning.
I really think a big test to a relationship is how you travel together. When you travel for 25 days to 7 countries you have to be on the same page and I'm glad to say Chris and I passed the test! We are perfect travel partners which I am so thankful for because traveling is something I love to do. Thank you Chris for the amazing honeymoon that I will never forget.
Hope you enjoyed the mini- vaca as well :)
