Catacombs

Hey, didn't get a chance to update yesterday's adventures because we took the night train from Paris to Milan, so here it is.

First of all we went to Denfert-Rochereau to visit the catacombs (we knew where it was because we went there last time and found out it was closed), however every other tourist in the city though of the same thing meaning that we had to wait in line for over 2 hours until we got in, which sucked because it was super sunny.

See that yellow thing in the sky?
Yep, France actually has the sun for once.

We waited for so long that I had time to draw us waiting

Then we went inside the catacombs and explored the creepy tunnels.  I tried taking a video, but my video camera doesn't capture light as well as a normal camera, so everything looked black, but I did managed to take normal photos.

Lots of bones...

...Lots and lots of bones

This is the most she's smiled this whole trip

now that you think about it, most people would
probably be scared by this kind of situation.

Then I practiced my French/ Latin by trying to read and translate some of the texts.

there's even a spell check on the stone inscription.

So after that we were really hungry and went to a French restaurant, however I was so hungry that I ordered something without actually knowing what it was...

...raw meat

I did try it, but it was kind of weird, like spaghetti meat before you cook it.  Asides from that, the food was pretty good, except the servings were huge.  I wonder who actually eats that much food.

Crème brûlée

Then we figured that we still had some time before we had to take the train, so we walked to Trocadéro and took some photos with the Eiffel Tower.  

Then we took a photo with the Arc de Triomphe and walked down Champs Elysées.  Basically putting a few more stamps on the tourist bingo card.  We didn't really stop in Champs Elysées, because it's practically the most expensive part of Paris.  Even the train station was posh with touch screen maps.

After that we went back to Tatiana's friend's place, said goodbye and left for the Gare de Lyon station and took the night train to Milan.

The cabin was set up with 6 seats, which transformed into bunk beds.  I fell asleep straight away, probably because I had to drag my heavy suitcase across Paris with a broken handle, but Tatiana was wide awake because we crossed the Swiss border meaning that her Wi-Fi came back for that time.  Then we arrived in Milan at 5:30am.
