29th December

Today we wanted to go to Versailles.  We were feeling a bit tried from yesterday so we slept in and then we went out to Republique and got a huge delicious breakfast bread thing.  It was delicious.  Chrissy thought it was smaller than it was, and then it was 3 times bigger.  She ate one third.

Then we caught the train to Versailles.  This took a while.  Ad then when we were in Versailles we went to the ticket office before we got to the palace and didn't have to wait in line.  Charles got in free since he's a resident of the EU and is under 26, but Chrissy had to pay 20 euro.  

Then we went up the Chateau and we went in the entrance.  It was totally confusing and we didn't know where to go.  We went into the main chateau museum and it was a long tour of identical rooms which were confusing and forgettable, even though each one was amazing.  The highlights were the room with a thing in it, and that other thing that was in a room.  Refer to photos.

Then we went to the garden which was all snowy and slushy and slippery and we walked a LONG way looking at all the fountains that were off, and eventually we got to the second building which was called the trianon which was kind of more interesting i thought.  The last building was called the little trianon, and then there were a collection of little whimsical farm buildings made for marie-antoinette to play in.  Then we had to walk back to the main house which was SO HARD, oh my god, it was bad.  then we stopped for McDonalds but it was too late for lunch and i felt bad, we both felt bad.

Then we got the train back, but instead of going home which would be sensible, we went to Muji.  Chrissy bought a bag because her other bag strap BROKE!  And then instead of getting a train home we decided to walk home, which was also totally crazy, but we passed some interesting shops, including a bookshop which was totally interesting.

Then we got some salads from the better bakery, then we got home at ate them and they were super delicious, oh my gosh.  now our legs hurt.  Our last full day in Paris!
