IN PARIS!


Chapter 1 - On the plane
On Tuesday the 25th of June we got up at 5:00am & left at 6:00am, we had to leave at 6:00 because we had
to go to our uncles house so we could drop of our bags & put them in the car so he could drive us to the
airport. Once we had got to the airport we were really excited, first we had a little look around than checked
in our luggage. After that we boarded the plane & got ready for that 17 hour flight to Doha.
I wasn't expecting to get much food on the plane, but they loaded us about every hour or 2, I kept looking
at how long till we got there but I got board & started watching movies. There was an announcement from
the captain saying 5 minutes until we land, because it was a big plane I was expecting the landing to be really
rough but it was so smooth. Because our luggage was getting shipped straight to France we didn’t have to
re-check in our luggage, when we got of the plane it was 45 degrees celsius, the heat was instant. Once we
got on a little airport bus I was so relieved, it was boiling hot outside. Once we had finally got inside
the airport we waited 3 hours & got on the plane this `flight was only seven hours.

Chapter 2 - We are in Paris
Once we got to France I was so happy because altogether on both panes I only got 1-2 hours of sleep,
we arrived in France at 7:00am & we couldn't get into our apartment until 5:00pm, we didn’t hire a car so
instead we got a taxi on the way to our hotel there was so much street art we tried to get in at 2:00 but the
owner needed to clean up the hotel, he told us to come back at 3:00 so we went for a little walk & came
back at 2:30, went around the back & lay down on the grass. When it finally reach 3:00 we went inside &
expected it to be finished but Nope. We were all asleep but he still came back at 4:00 & finished cleaning
the hotel.

Chapter 3 - Going to the center of Paris
Next we were heading towards the center of Paris we got a bit confused because we hadn’t been on a train
yet, all the stops are in French & not many people spoke English, it was boiling hot. Than we went to this
really high ‘n’ shape, we climbed up millions of stairs & got to see the Eiffel tower. Then we went to get
some lunch at Mc donalds but I didn’t get my food, luckily when we told them they gave it to us & we also
went to heaps of cool shops. After that we headed back, we thought that we knew the way but we didn't,
so we had to get lost for 2 hours, it was terrible in that heat, it was like 43 degrees.

Chapter 4 - DISNEYLAND!
Once we had finally figured out where we were going & how to NOT get lost, because
DISNEYLAND was the last stop we had to wait a very long time because people kept getting off & on
the train. When we arrived at DISNEYLAND I was so excited, the first thing we were going to do was
go to the castle but then Ricardo wanted to got on this other thing, so we walked all over the place looking
for it but turns out it was really close to the castle, it said it was a 45 minute wait but once we were on the
ride it was all worth it, it was called Big Thunder Mountain. After That Had finished I wanted to go on
it 100 more times but his time it was a 60 minute wait. Next we went & got some hotdogs, they were so
good we went to the castle it was amazing, it had everything. Next we went on the Pirates of the Carribeen,
it was a 10 minute walk to the ride, a 10 minute wait & a 10 minute ride, it was really fun it was like a log
flume but with bigger boats & smoother drops, the pirates looked so realistic. Then we went on the merry
go round, for some reason it looked really fun & it was, then mum said that we could only go on one more
ride & we chose the spinning teacups, surprisingly they were so much fun you had to spin this thing in the
middle to make the teacup spin, the floor moved by itself.     

Chapter 5 - Going on a boat cruise
The next day we went on a boat cruise, we had to go on 2 trains to get there, because we booked online
Scotties -phone wasn’t working so he sent it to mum but we couldn't zoom on mom's phone so I had to
take a photo of it but then I didn’t need to because they gave us tee tickets. After we had finally solved that
we got on the boat, we also brought a selfie stick so we used that a lot & mum bought a little Eiffel tower
& tiny key rings of the Eiffel tower. We also got to see the oldest building, it was 400 years old & the
Eiffel tower.

Chapter 6 - ???
The next day we got up & we organized things because we were leaving the next day, so we tested how
long it would take to get from our house to the airport so we knew what time to leave, it took about an
hour & a half (1 hour & 26 minutes to be specific.) Then we went back home.

Chapter 7 - getting on the plane to go to Scotland
The next day I woke up very excited to go to Scotland. When we got to the airport we had something to
eat, checked in our luggage & there was a 1 hour & 45 minute delay, so instead of arriving at 4:40 we
arrived at 5:30. Once our Taxi cme to pick us up, he took us to get our car that we hired but it wasn’t there.
We had to wait about 2 hours. Once we got our it looked very small, the boot was big but we still could
only fit 3 BIG suitcases in the boot, the rest had to go in the back with us.
