England & Paris

September 29th

On the 29th, we went to the Warwick Castle in Warwick, England. It was really cool! We drove there from our place (probably an hour away). When we got there, we had lunch and then went to the A Bird's Prey Show. There were bald eagles and other really awesome birds! Then, we explored the castle some more until it was the time we bought tickets to go the Castle Dungeon (A scary attraction recommended for 10+) In short, I hated it and had to leave. Remy and my dad stayed and loved it though. Anyway, after that we got donuts and slushes. Then, we went through he maze and the playground. We also walked around town.

October 1rst

On the 1rst, we woke up and hiked the Cotswold Way. It goes through these beautiful pastures with sheep. We also took the path to Bellis-Knap which in short is basically a lump of grass they build thousands of years ago. Just kidding. They used to bury dead people in it too. 😳After we finished hiking, we went to lunch in Stow-On-Wold. It's a really cute town! 

October 3rd

On the 3rd, we went to the London Tower. It was really cool! We did a tour and saw the Crown Jewels which were awesome! Once we finished with the tower, we went to an Indian restaurant for lunch. Then, we went to the musical Wicked. It's what really happened in the Wizard of Oz. Wicked was definitely one of my favorites!

October 5th

On the 5th, we had lunch in the area of Soho in London at a bunch of street vendors. I got noodles with beef and they were soooooooo good! Then, we walked past this place that had a free quick Harry Potter exhibition with a bunch of the real props! It was awesome! I've read the last 5 books on our trip so it was perfect! We also went to the West Minister Abbey Evan Song. West Minister Abbey is where a lot of people in the royal family got married/had a funeral. It's really beautiful. For dinner, we went to a Indian restaurant again for our last meal in London!

October 7th

The 7th was our first full day in Paris. We woke up and went to breakfast at a cute cafe. Then, we tried to go to the Catacombs but it was a four to five hour wait so we went to the Eiffel Tower instead. I had no idea it was so big! Then, we went to the Arch de Triumph and walked down Champs de Elysses and had a giant macaroon. (I like the small ones better) For dinner, we went to a sushi place! We didn't realize when we booked our place that it was in the Japanese district so every other building is sushi or noodles!😂😂😂

Hope all is well in Austin or where ever else you may live! We get home in 8 days! 

Au Revoir!
