Some interesting figures to start with: we've calculated.. on an average we walked a minimum of 7.5 hrs every day... highest in the record was 9.5 hrs on the 1st & last day in Paris!
Before we decided on this trip, my boss said it could be a good time to go as the weather was still cooling & it's long daylight. I didn't really believe him when he said the sun would only set at about 11pm during summer. Furthermore it's still spring time if we were to make our trip. Also asked him whether the shops & department stores would close later in that case & he said nope... "then what's the use? there's still nothing much to do at night wat..." I rebutted.
However when we're there, we gotta agree with my boss. Just don't know why we didn't feel tired easily. It's interesting huh. And Vince's colleagues asked why most fotos taken in day time 1?? So Vince explained to them again & said for the last night, we deliberately made ourselves stay out till past 11pm in order to have some night scene. Now they finally understand what we meant by having 15 hrs of daylight in a day.
And the weather was very inconsistent. The temperature could range from 10 over deg. to slightly over 20. The day we went Versailles was the coldest & we loved it!
My jie-mei asked me... I'd been to Paris twice already, still fun meh? Of coz!! It's totally different from the 1st 2 times when I'd just walked for the sake of walking & wasn't too interested in the monuments as no loved 1 to appreciate the great things & beautiful views with me. And I was so home-sick! This time round, I'd enjoyed many many things for the very 1st time.
Conclusion is..... it's an extremely fun & romantic honeymoon... just like what we'd dreamt about. Very often (even till our last day there) we just couldn't believe that we're walking on the streets of Paris, shopping @ l'Avenue des Champs Elysées, admiring the beauty of Vieux Lyon....... I mean, it's less than a week from deciding to getting everything ready. Though had been telling myself that the next time I go back to Paris would be with my loved 1, I never dared to think about it as seemed like it's never the right timing (1st was $$, housing issues, then it's because of my dad, getting the car & Tubby.... etc).
I'm so thankful to God for making my wish fulfilled at the least expected time.
