Paris/London-Day 6

And now, wanna share my last day in the City of Lurve....

-View from our hotel on that wet morning-

Its a wet morning, drizzling. So, we took quite awhile for breakfast.

Then, went to St.Lazare station, posing at this 'clocks'.

Actually, punya la byk taik burung at the clocks, nak diri dekat2 pun ngeri, so diri jauh2 sket from the clocks' tower.

****

Decided to went to 'Petit Palais', as i missed the chateau yesterday, huhu.

Views around the Petit Palais.

Wet morning in Paris

The Petit Palais

We're quite early, thus we Q for the billet for almost 1 hour. Good thing is, we're amongst in the front line. The museum opens only at10am..lambatnya..huhu..(we need to rush, as we'll be checking out today).

In the opposite is the Grand Palais

Petit Palais is where some of the royalty's collections are kept, tho its really not that much. But what i love most is the murals on the ceiling (is what i wanted to view-coz missed versailes yesterday).

Love the unique art. The grand dome.

Other item which was kept there

..and love these too!...gotta lot pics of these i.e. antiques clocks, compasses, women's accessories, etc...& even the palace's garden. But i just cant upload those here. its really time consuming to do that, sorry.

As soon as we complete the tour, rushed to the train station again to get back to hotel.

Called madame Anor for the last time. Too bad, we cant meet up. Of course, I need to rush for my checkout & Eurostar, and she's got her own schedule, with the kids, hubby etc..etc...

And me, I should've stayed another nite. 2 nites in Paris are nothing much, sighh...( a reason to get back here?? i guess, hehe)
So, madame...thanks for the souvenirs, makan-minum, tour de maison, for picking up us from Juvisy etc etc..really appreciate it. Thanks ya...nanti balik KL, lepak my house pulak, k...

Around the underground train.

(note the ikea sofas?)
..and not forgetting, ada jugak keretaku kat Paris. In fact, the only japanese/asia car can be seen by us while we're there.

Back to St.Lazare/hotel & check out. Our train (Eurostar) is at 2.15pm.

Hmmm..i just hate carrying heavy lugagge...siksanya...berat giler sih...

It was just nice, when we reach Gare Du Nord. It was around 1.50pm when we passed the imigration , queing, etc...Have a drink at 1 of the cafe - nak abeskan duit euro.

Views from France to UK.

I was damn tired. Tried hard to be awake, just to enjoy France's final view. Apakan daya, at some point daku terlena jugak, eventho tido2 ayam, coz nak snap pics.

Bye Paris...really, it is a beautiful city.

It was all lovely, unique, very historic, plus awecome buildings.. with lovely thrifty items too.

No wonder it is the 'City of Lurve'.

(bye...dunno when I'll be here again..huhu)

Back to the journey,

if u're from London, whenever u see below barn, means u'd reach France already, hehe.

...It was around 3.30pm when we reach St. Pancras,London.

Better, as UK is 1 hour late than France.

St.Pancras is adjacent to King's Cross station (my mind pointing at monopoly straight away, then)

************

This is King's Cross station.

Views around King's Cross

Map of King's Cross. Our hotel is somewhere at Argyle St. Lucky it was not that far from the station.

Booked this hotel from Paris (what a last minute, huh!). Was around 75pds inclusive b/fast but with external b/room & washroom. No more room, so I cant ask for an upgrade. Bare that, hotels in these area are most of the time-full house, especially on weekends.

It was all relief the minute I'm able to check-in. Aduhh...rasa cam nak runtuh bahuku..adoyai..

*******

Relax awhile, before going out again to check on the area around us. Drop by at a luggage shop. Beli Samsonite seketul, as we really feel we need additional luggage..(mcm tak biasa..hehe)

Dinner at 1 of halal resto there.

-the menu-

-the food- (yummyy!!!!)

-lets share some coins-...

Night time: spend our final nite surveying London. Took tube to Westminster.

hmm..baru pukul 8.15pm..

Its raining..sojuk douwhh....

*****
la..amek pic dari tepi jalan je rupanya ye....

London County Hall
Then, we took tube to London Tower.
-The Tower Bridge-

Around Tower of London- the modern buidlings

Tower of London (very medieval rite?)

It was not many people around here tho it is just around 9pm. So, decided to get back & pack our things. Was quite a tiring day, but it was all worth it!

(pardon me, am too lazy to write)
