Lanie at Disneyland
Outside Disneyland Paris
... like going on the ROLLERCOASTER!!!! Today we had a wonderful day at Disneyland Paris. This was one thing Lanie really wanted to do and we all hummed and ha-ed a bit but we all ended up having a wonderful time. Within the first 10 minutes we were plummeting around the Indiana Jones - Temple of Peril - on a rollercoaster. it was terrifying. They tell me it even went upside down. My eyes were shut so tight I didn't really know much except that we were moving very very quickly and that it came to an end!!!
The sun was shining and it has got quite hot. We had a really good look around and did most of the rides we wanted. The Paris Disneyland is a really good park about 40 kms north east of Paris. We go everywhere on the trains. It was only 17 euro for a weekly pass for the trains and the buses. Great value. Lanie had a wonderful day and has got a new design for her first house - the Fantasyland castle. We got some beautiful photos of our princess in a castle.
Yesterday we went separate ways - Lan and Ben went to Versailles and had a very full day exploring the chateau and the gardens and John, Alana B and I went to Fontainebleu Chateau - majestic like Versailles but not so many people. It also was a mindblower with its extravagance and its gardens. It also houses one of the oldest tennis courts in Europe which is still used for international tournaments. We got back to Paris and went to a couple more memorials and then had time out at the movies where we saw Robin Hood.
So all in all a productive couple of days. We are conscious that the end is now near. We will miss all the great things France has to offer and to which we have become very accustomed. Love it here - no wonder so many people choose it as a holiday destination.
Shopping with my girl in Paris tomorrow - hope our feet can stand up to the challenge. Think so!!!
