Bonjour Paris


Woke up as early as 4 am and started preparing mee hun for our lunch boxes to Paris and Brussels today. Our VW Sharan had a flat tyre so we had to travel to Europe with one car instead of two. Aiman and Anas were quite happy to be left with their cousins Shasya, Rina, Nat and Aqil at Daddy Yoh's place. Journey from Egham to Falkestone took one and a half hours. Alhamdulillah boarded the eurotrain safely on time, we were ahead of time infact. Journey across English Channel took 30 minutes. Arrived at Calais, France at 8.20 am and continued our journey to Paris which took almost 3 hrs plus stopping for mee hun, keropok lekor and sandwich break.


Driving into the eurotrain. Our car was at the back of this car. Fascinated with the smooth system of getting on board.

Stopping for lunch at one of the roadside parks.




City of Paris, crowded with tourists, hot and rather dusty.

Mama, Wan and her 3 grandchildren. Long Qs to go up the Eifel Tower. So went straight to Brussels.


Arc de Triompe, one of the famous tourist attractions in Paris.

3 pm, headed towards Brussels. After 1 hour, had to replace the sleepy driver. Drove all the way to Kak Shikin's place in Brussels. Alhamdulillah for the smooth ride.
