Versailles was such a sight. I wish that we could have stayed longer but it worked out because my camera was about to die! When we first got there we got split into two groups, the first went into the palace and the second went for lunch. I was in awe when we saw the first parts of the palace, then when we walked out to the gardens it was overwhelming. The gardens were absolutely beautiful. Filled with statues and freshly trimmed trees, and different kinds of greenery.
Walking over to the main part of the garden we saw the back of the palace and the enormous garden. There was big ponds and big statues. The only thing that would have been nice would for there to be have no other people there; that I would pay a lot of money for.
After taking a tour of the gardens we went into the palace with our guide, Pierre. He was a very informative and friendly Frenchmen. He knew everything there was to know about the palace and the history of it. There was a story to every piece of marble, and there was a lot of marble. After seeing room after room, and hearing about all the kings mistresses and the multiple bed rooms that he had, we all got back together and took off back to the main part of Paris where he had about an hour and a half free time then dinner at Flem's. The food was interesting, many kids didn’t like it so they went to look for something else. What we had was a flat bread with melted cheese, ham, onions and we put salad on it aswell.
After getting crapes and meeting back at our spot we heading for the bus back to the hotel. By this time I was extremely tired and feeling like I could sleep for a whole day. We got our rooms and up we went, then hung around for a bit and to bed we went! It was a nice day
