First of all, why the title like that? Because i've lost count , sorry :/ Tak faham boleh rujuk sini : Winter Break Post Challenge
Second of all, yeayy after several days collecting mood & feeling to write, I've managed to start my engine, trying to translate my excitedness into words, tu pun lepas pekena sepinggan kuey tiaw kerang versi perantauan. Mom, I hope you can feels my holiday's excitedness and please pardon my grammar! ....and all the short form.... and the mixed langguage here and there. Hahaha xD
Third of all, I hope this post and the next next next post (insyaAllah) , will help & guide young travelers sikit-sikit pun jadilah untuk plan for their trip :D Because we plan from scratch ya knaw. Imean from ticket booking, hotels, trains and few other things that needs online booking (For cheaper price, Of course! Hahah) - For websites & how, just inbox my fb okay.
Anyhow, that's the muqaddimah. Let's get started!
Winter Break Trip Day 1.
Our journey from Zagazig city start about 7 pm (Or something...) , rent a Peugeot to Cairo International Airport and stay overnight about 9 hours plus minus , as our next flight is at 7.20 am. I think it was a new experience, especially nak carik the best position to sleep on airport's chair. Taktahan mengantuk kkkk. Take turn to look out for our luggages. Rasa macam pergi camping apa je, kena kejut tengah2 syok tidur konon2 turn patrol. Hahaha
Tips overnight at the airport especially in Winter's Breeze:
1. Make sure winter coat cukup tebal secukup rasa.
2. Ada hoot to cover all the noises.
3. Earmuff *optional to give extra effect to cover the unwanted noises.
4. Earphones & Music *Optional as some peoples can't sleep even with music.
5. Muffler to cover your face. Atau penutup mata for those who can't sleep in direct light.
6. Paling penting, persediaan nak tidur tanpa keselesaan katil empuk dekat rumah. Lek derrr, kata adventure kan.
Uh-well that's about overnight at airport.
After check in and all, around 11.10 am local time, we arrived at Paris CDG Airport. And well, the Airport for me lah, for me, is amazing. The leisure area, the toilets and everything.
Airport's toilet.
OKAY before we go further, this is an important announcement. For me lah yg ada lah jugak pengalaman sesikit travel few countries, this is so important, to take it or not, up to you hihihi. Which is....
For a better & sweet travel experience, don't ever compare radically between the countries you have visited. Sebab bila start comparing nanti next place yg kite visit dekat country tu rasa takbest je... Imean, every places have their own good & weakness. And to say wow this place recommended or not, it depends on traveller's preferences. Some like shopping, so this is better. Some like sightseeing so that place is better. And the list goesss on. Okay :D Let's just transfer yg takbest tu into positive aura. Dengan cara itu, insyaAllah kite akan enjoy our trip and feels like our money not being wasted.
But of course, at the end, there will be list which countries is on top of your likes. Ehem saya pun ada. Hihihi. I mean, ada rezeki lebih, insyaAllah nak visit lagi. Dengan soulmates ke. Gittewwww.
Our hotel is located at Saint Brice Sous Foret, not exactly in the city of Paris. Suburb actually. A very nice environment. Quiet and peaceful. Near to the highway, i think.
About 30 minutes-1 hour after check in-solat-and stuffs, we start our journey. Transilien station : Saint Brice Sous Foret and the information counter is really helpful. At first we are requesting a 5 Days Unlimited Visit Pass, but she suggest to take a week unlimited pass, which save us almost 20 Euros (About 80 ringgit). This pass need you to stick on your picture (Obligatory. If not, penalty!).
This is how our one week pass looks like. Of course this is the edited version. My bro said "Macam mana pau sardin boleh terlekat dekat telinga tu?" hahahaa xD That's an earmuffff.
Our first visit is The Louvre. Metro Station : Louvre Rivoli.
This is the Pyramid in front of The Louvre Museum. Nak masuk sebab nak tengok The famous potret of Mona Lisa , tapi museum dah tutup....... Takpe, on the bright sight, we safe our entrance money! Hihihi.
After all the photography session with le girls, we moved on to the garden next to the museum; Tuilleries Garden. Such a nice garden with all the ducks or birds I'm not sure hahaha swimming in the ponds. I don't know, maybe because I'm once an art student, but there are few artists sketched near the ponds & trees & ducks, and i found it interesting and feels like wanna join too! Hahah overrrrr.
After strolled around the garden, we took the metro and stop at Bir Hakeim / Champ de Mars / Tour Eiffel to see the famous Eiffel Tower. I don't know, I have few friends who is very fond of Eiffel Tower and that's makes me feel visit Eiffel Tower excitedly is a must! Gittewww.
Having Hot Nutella Crepe which i take away before went to Eiffel Tower. It was kinda rainy that day. And having a hot choco, in front of Eiffel Tower feels like... did I film-ing a melodrama or something. LOLS.
After stop raining, we strolled around the Champ de Mars about half an hour-45 minutes, just to see Eiffel at night. And for me.... the pictures were so.... breathtaking! Worth the wait :D I actually take a video of it, because the light goes lip lap lip lap and my 2 other friends were soooo excited. Hahahah
After all the photography session (Again hahaha tourist koooot), we went to Arc De Triomphe. Metro station : Charles De Gaulle Etoile.
There's this one place which is in the middle of the road, which is for me really strategic for a magnificent view of this Arc. Tapi gambar vibrate pulok. Hahahhh semangat tau lari2 nak tangkap gambarr.
After that, we did what most of girls like to do, which is.... Window Shopping! This is at Champ Elysees. Actually, i still didnt get the point of window shopping. Dont know, depends on my shopping mood perhaps. So, while my girls done their window shopping , i just stand outside the shop, snap pictures here and there. Hahah, the night view was so pretty with a lot of decorated light. True, Paris is really the city of light ohhh.
There was few scenes which had been cut out by the director, which me of course hahah poyosss. Kebanyakannya adalah scene sesat. Yes, Paris for first day boleh buat sesat oh. So kena banyak bertanya hokay jangan malu-malu!
Around 8/9 pm we are ready to go back to our hotel. So again, take the metro to Paris Gare du Nord Station (Which is our centre to go anywhere from our hotel) , change to transilien and go to Saint Brice Sous Foret train station.
So that's all for our first day of journey - Tour Paris. InsyaAllah nanti I update for the 2nd day, which is moree awesome & have moreeee participants.
Till then, have a nice day. Assalamualaikum :)
