PARIS - DAY 1

This must be the longest trip made without the baobeis. But, thank God for Wifi and Facetime, we communicated on a daily basis at no cost at all.

We reached Paris in the evening and pre-arranged to meet the guys in the Hotel. The guys had spent time in the hotel since they arrived from London! We were then told of their earlier near-missed pickpockets incident. The three guys were surrounded by a group of young gals asking them to do survey. In a split second, the gals had zip opened their waist pouches and daringly put their hands into the guys' pockets. Despite their shouting and shoving, the pickpockets did not bulge. It was not until the police came then they fled away. The three guys shaken by the earlier incident, decided not to venture anywhere but stayed in the hotel wi-fiing, waiting for our arrival. Thank God for the protection and mercy that they were not harmed physically and financially!

After unpacking, we wasted no time to catch a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower first before meeting Allan's colleague, Huizi in Paris. She hosted us and blessed us with free river cruise!

We ended our first night in Paris, dining and drinking glasses and glasses of wine (they have starter wine to drink before you have the main dish and wine to go along with your steak..)  in this slightly retro looking French restaurant.
