March 8th - Interlaken to Paris


We got breakfast at the hotel again, yay more yogurt!!! I also took advantage and had some bread with butter since you have to pay for bread everywhere! 

We left and went to interlaken ost to catch our train to Paris. We ended up getting there a hour early. After we got on, the first stop of interlaken west. Awesome. Nothing like catching a train to go back to where you just were!!! We stopped in basal, Switzerland and changed trains to go to Paris. The ride to Paris wasn't as pretty, so I slept a bit ;) 

When we got into Paris, the station was incredibly busy. Not to mention there are armed men with huge guns. We finally found the M14 bus that we needed but didn't have tickets. So mom went to go get the tickets and then the armed men told us we needed to leave. They closed it off with flagging tape and made us leave. So there we were fresh into Paris and we lost mom. We finally found her and then her and dad left us with the luggage to figure out the tickets. They were gone for over a hour. They finally came back and we had figured out the trains. Apparently they were trying to catch someone since they told mom that it wasn't safe. They opened the M14 back up and we were able to get to our stop. These people were helping us and taking our luggage to help us through. It was really weird. They ended up following us mostly home but dad stood back so they knew we knew we were being followed. Did I mention it was raining too?!? Awesome! 

We got to our hotel, which is actually an apt. The heat was off so it was cold. It's small too. There's two Murphy wall beds that Derek and I are sleeping on. We changed and went to the cafe central down the street. The food was great and it was a quaint little place. The service is interesting, you have to ask for your bill. I guess it's considered rude if they just bring you the bill without you asking.

We then walked to the Eiffel Tower. Holy shit was it crazy to see it in person!!  It's gorgeous lite at night!! It sparkles every hour for five minutes! We then got a boat ride after taking a bunch of pictures. It was cool to see Paris at night but I couldn't wait to see it during the day time. The boat ride was romantic though even with a bunch of Asians taking pics with their peace signs everywhere lol. 

On the way home, we went to a souvenir shop. Then mom thought we were getting followed but we weren't. So we were just walking while she was freaking her shit out. They ended duo being just some people drinking walking around. It was a Friday night!
