j'adore paris

The next morning we were off to the Eiffel Tower, which to go to the top took an hour and a half of line waiting just for another hour to get to the top and see all the views. It was incredible. Once we finally made it back to the ground we took photos from the grassy side, which turned out looking surreal, as if it were fake, the blue sky was so rich and the green grass so vivid, it was incredible. Then we hiked all the way to the Arc de Triumph, and starvingly searched for a metropolitan to take us to the Louvre, where they would not let us in for free because we were not of the EU nationality, it didn't matter that we went to an EU uni. We were ticked, and there wasn't much time before they closed, like only an hour and a half, so we just decided not to go in, because it wouldn't have been worth it. Then we finally got a baguette for lunch and then made it back to our hotel for a quick nap. That night we went to a few pubs and I ate two nutella crepes, one with banana, because by that time I was starving. We then went to sleep then woke up early, ate breakfast again then headed to Versailles. We wanted to go in, but the line was ages long and we had to be at the train station in an hour to get to Grindelwald, Switzerland, so we thought. When we finally made it to the train station they informed us that there were no more seats to Switzerland that day unless we wanted to pay over 200 euro. Then we went to another man who after 30 minutes was finally able to find us a way to get there for only 11euro. He was really funny and nice, he had a great sense of humour which was the type of person we needed at that moment in time. Then we hurried off to another train station to catch it. We had a very long train ride 7pm til midnight, I believe, it may have been longer. While we were awake on the train, for most of it I slept, but I think on our second train, when we were all awake. These kid boys put their number on their ipod and had it scroll it saying call me and three hearts for these girls across the isle from us, but the entire train car thought it was hysterical. Also, a man was kicked off the train for being drunk, he had a beer that when he passed out in his seat flew off the table onto the hallway floor, luckily it was the handcap area outside of the regular car near the bathroom. He also dropped his phone in the beer, it was entertaining to witness to say the least. We were sitting next to this really kind family from Basel that was trying to help us see if there was a train to Grindelwald when we'd arrive, which there wasn't. So, when we finally walked out of the train station into this empty closed city a taxi driver finally drove past, he told us it would be 100 swiss francs to take us to our hostel, so we opted to see if the hotel across the street would be cheaper for the night, but they were already closed. Thankfully the other taxi driver that quoted us a price, a cheaper price stuck around until we decided we needed a taxi. He was really nice, and told us he would give us the 30-40 minute ride for only 64 euro, which was a great price for the distance. He told us that he was concerned because three girls shouldn't be out that late by ourselves, but that's when our train arrived. We finally made it to our hostel, to what seemed to be empty because everyone was asleep already and the place was locked, except for the side doors where the late check in was with our key in a box. It worked out great and thankfully there was free internet!
