France Quatre


Journey to the south, Toulouse begins :( * Sobs *
Didn't have any pictures taken when we left the hotel cause we were all rushing as we were creating a massive jam :(



On the way to the train station


On board the train.


Didn't take picture of the train cause we were kinda late and we had trouble trying to get the luggage on board the train and we had trouble trying to place our luggage to the compartments. But most of our luggages couldn't fit through so it had to be place at the side of the seats :(


On the way to Toulouse


One of the stops


Another adorable kid :)


Back to the view


After 6 hours on the train we arrived at Toulouse :)

No trip is complete without having a "little" drama in between.
Apparently after we all got off from the train, the tourism students and some of the hospitality (Hr and FnB) were with us. We were all told to move to the hotel as we were blocking traffic and some of the students were already there. When we got to the hotel, there was only us and ONLY US! We got checked in and all, went to our rooms and rest for a bit before heading out again.

As we were getting ready, there was a big commotion going on in the room something bout not calling and not waiting for the rest. Didn't really understand the whole thing until I saw the video of the rest of the students getting lost * eek * and apparently the person in charge with them, took a cab to the hotel and left them there!

So much for being in charge, Fisherman!
* you're useless but I guess you should know that by now *

Moving on..
We found ourselves an Italian restaurant


Lasagna


Salad


Pasta


More Pasta


Pizza

Throughout the whole time we were sitting there, I think all four of our bodies were moving as if we were still on the train :(

If there's sea sickness, air sickness and motion sickness so what do you call when one is suffering from the train? Could it be Train sickness? Is there such a word?



After dinner, we walked around for a bit then we went back to the hotel :)


Whole day 4 was wasted due to travelling :(

The Museum


Out of all the statues we saw, this was by far the most good looking dude at least that's what Tiara and I agreed on ;)


Speaking of statues


The hall filled with portraits, all the portraits had the same name, Napoleon

* ok, that might not be true but at one section I swear most of it was Napoleon this, Napoleon that *


Listening to the virtual tour guide


Out of the Museum and to the gardens :)








There were 16 gardens in the palace and we only went to one! :(


The adorable kid :)


Si mignon






Creative no??

Next stop, Mona Lisa!







So when we arrived, the museum was closed cause we were late by a few mins I think :(
So no Mona Lisa :(



That sums up the our last day in Paris :(
