Last day in paris

So today was not exactly successful well actually I wouldn't say unsuccessful.  We got up really early to make it to the Eiffel Tower before it opened to beat the crowd. That was a joke we got there at 9:20 and didn't go up the tower till 12:30. We were already late for our check out but our hotel said we could check out at 1. Well when we got to the second floor, with just enough time to take in the view and take a few photos, and we were out! 


Well on our way to the exit it was a huge line to take the elevator down, so we took the stairs....679 steps later we got to the bottom. It was now 1:05 and we had to run to the metro...and of course we missed it. Waited for the next one and got to our hotel and they were totally cool with us being late thank goodness. So we headed up stairs packed our bags and then took our luggage to the holding room. We then headed to the lovers lock bridge. And it was so amazing, I'm happy I got to do this with Kody :) 


I can't wait to get to come back one day and find our lock. After that we had a fun ride back to our hotel where we got all of our luggage to head to the train station! When we got there we couldn't have been more confused ever...their down arrows mean straight and the diagonal ones mean up the stairs? Well we finally got to the floor we needed to get to and watched one of those old timy departure boards flip till about 20 minutes before our train left we got to find our platform! But we so underestimated how far down the platform we needed to go! We walked all the way to our first class seats (yes we could afford 1st class for this one train, it was fantastic!) we had these comfy comfy seats 


And got free wifi :)...we also got dinner but I'm not quite sure what it was so maybe you can figure it out....

But we did manage to get two free cokes each on the train so that was a plus! Well three hours and a nap later we arrived in amsterdam! We didn't really know where to go and there were a ton of people trying to get on the same tram as us and it was so confusing. But, after getting off walking two blocks in the wrong direction and then 4 blocks in the right direction we got to our little bed and breakfast. I freaking love it! The guy was super nice and actually upgraded us to a studio. 

After getting to our room we headed out to the red light district to see amsterdam, while trying not get run over by a bike! We walked all around and found a place to eat! Got some drinks and I had some tomato soup that was really good...

And don't be fooled by what's on kody's plate! It's a giant pancake stuffes with bacon and eggs...but don't get too excited like I did, by bacon they mean ham. Serious let down :( oh well 


And now after we ate dinner we headed back to our room to get some rest and watch teen nice....IN ENGLISH :)!!

Sleep tight!
