Louvre Museum
Didn't know about this Louvre museum as well .. this, it seems, is also a world famous place ..
we hardly spent an hour here .. taking a couple of pictures ..
came to know that Monalisa is also placed in this museum .. but didn't had time to go inside ..
Journey Back Home
Largely boring .. sleeping and listening songs ..

Paris at Dawn
Subah subah french breakfast .. delicious krossen with orange juice & some other dishes jinke mere ko naam nahin pata hain which tasted equally good ..
then you go out and find fresh/clean paris air .. you board your bus waiting to goto disneyland .. life is cool .. :)
the city seemed much like New Delhi I should say .. lots of flyovers and tunnels .. big hoardings of philips/canon etc hanging from buildings ..
maybe the similarity was so evident because of the difference in netherlands cities and indian cities ..
Disneyland
Get ready for a full day joyride when you visit Disneyland .. one day really is not suffcient to cover whole of it .. but you cannot help it ..
Eiffel Tower
And finally - we got to what we were waiting for ..
amazingly Eifel was not covered in the tour package .. so we left the bus .. took the metro
ps - Did i mention that paris is completely covered by chain of metros .. I got the feel of Calcutta metros .. maybe because that is the only other metro i have rided onto ..

Journey
Around six hours journey - halla gulla .. sona .. khana peena .. etc etc ..
First look at Eifel
really one of the most eye-catching man made structures i should say .. when we got the first glipmpse of Eifel .. all of us went .. ooooooooooh .. when would we get a little closer to Eifel ..
ps - but nothing compared to akka TajMahal !!
Evening of Paris
Lights of Paris - there is really something about the evening of paris and lights of paris .. which will turn you mad .. so serene yet lively .. so unreal .. i guess i'll become a poet would i continue further .. hee hee ..

City of flowers as they say .. opened b/w feb to may i believe ..
u need to go to Leiden Central Station from where you can take a bus to reach to keukenhoff ..
we visited the large flower park of keukenhoff .. heard that tulip fields around the park are in full bloom in march .. so i think one should visit this place in march .. anyways ..
ps - later i heard that Leiden University is a world famous university .. same goes for Utrecht University
