On the Road to Nowhere

18 April 2013

Today was a day planned to test our French speaking skills and hand gestures for words we didn’t know. This unfortunately didn’t go to plan but we made it into an adventure filled day taking the metro, walking on the ‘right’ side of the side walk and shopping down one of the most famous streets of fashion in the world.

The mystery school of France we were going to visit this morning was adventurous and nerve racking. All of us up at 7 (ON A HOLIDAY!!!) in tracksuit with nerves of how, how French was going to work out and how fast the students would speak to us. This was the start of the morning mix up! We turned up on the train and missed our stop which continued till the end of the railway till we realised we missed it… We contacted the school and… They said not to bother so we had a day of freedom!

First on the list was Alex’s wee make over!!!

Second was the beautiful Luxembourg Garden. It had bright green grass and beautiful flowers blossoming in the French spring sun spreading peaceful happy moods everywhere, we didn’t want to leave.

The best for last we were let loss on Paris! St Andrew's College ready to destroy! The perfect day to prepare for Disneyland tomorrow!

Merci beacoup
