France Quatre


Journey to the south, Toulouse begins :( * Sobs *
Didn't have any pictures taken when we left the hotel cause we were all rushing as we were creating a massive jam :(


Image

On the way to the train station

Image

On board the train.

Image

Didn't take picture of the train cause we were kinda late and we had trouble trying to get the luggage on board the train and we had trouble trying to place our luggage to the compartments. But most of our luggages couldn't fit through so it had to be place at the side of the seats :(

Back to the view

After 6 hours on the train we arrived at Toulouse :)

No trip is complete without having a "little" drama in between.
Apparently after we all got off from the train, the tourism students and some of the hospitality (Hr and FnB) were with us. We were all told to move to the hotel as we were blocking traffic and some of the students were already there. When we got to the hotel, there was only us and ONLY US! We got checked in and all, went to our rooms and rest for a bit before heading out again.

As we were getting ready, there was a big commotion going on in the room something bout not calling and not waiting for the rest. Didn't really understand the whole thing until I saw the video of the rest of the students getting lost * eek * and apparently the person in charge with them, took a cab to the hotel and left them there!

So much for being in charge, Fisherman!
* you're useless but I guess you should know that by now *

Moving on..
We found ourselves an Italian restaurant

Image

Lasagna

Image

Salad

Image

Pasta

Image

More Pasta

Image

Pizza

Throughout the whole time we were sitting there, I think all four of our bodies were moving as if we were still on the train :(

If there's sea sickness, air sickness and motion sickness so what do you call when one is suffering from the train? Could it be Train sickness? Is there such a word?


Image

After dinner, we walked around for a bit then we went back to the hotel :)


Whole day 4 was wasted due to travelling :(

The Museum

Image

Out of all the statues we saw, this was by far the most good looking dude at least that's what Tiara and I agreed on ;)

Image

Speaking of statues

Image

The hall filled with portraits, all the portraits had the same name, Napoleon

* ok, that might not be true but at one section I swear most of it was Napoleon this, Napoleon that *

Image

Listening to the virtual tour guide

Image

Out of the Museum and to the gardens :)

There were 16 gardens in the palace and we only went to one! :(

Next stop, Mona Lisa!

Image

So when we arrived, the museum was closed cause we were late by a few mins I think :(
So no Mona Lisa :(

That sums up the our last day in Paris :(
