Paris Adventures Day 4 (15/8/15) - Palace of Versailles & Gorgeous Gardens

Hiya!

Day four took me to the wonderful Palace of Versailles and its absolutely amazing grounds. I spent the whole day there, first exploring the palace itself then spending hours walking between the various groves in the garden. I went all the way down to the bottom too, to the Trianon Palaces and estate of Marie Antoinette.

It was fun, but my legs ended up killing me and I physically pulled my legs at the end when no one was looking... I also didn't have any money, so couldn't buy any lunch, and I couldn't find my mum (who should have been waiting by the palace but had unfortunately gone to get lunch when I went to find her).

So I walked for hours and hours, with no water, food, and only a dying camera for company. It sounds terrible and you're probably wondering why I stayed so long...

Well, the truth is it was just too gorgeous. At first, I wanted to skip the smaller fountains and groves, but I quickly realised that they were all different and all wonderful in their own ways. So, I guess I shouldn't complain, I brought it all upon myself.

Anyway, here are the photos. The weather started off really bad, so the pictures don't look very lovely, it's all grey and dull. But it gets better, sort of. In the end, I could only take one shot and then my camera would die so I couldn't check my photos. But that's where the art of editing comes in :)

And boy, did I edit them...

Hall of Mirrors ft. too many tourists

So fancy!

Garden pictures now :)
It's a shame the first half are so grey...

The blue scarf guy was being filmed there and I'm not sure what for but I scraped in anyway ;)

I love this

Funky

Also funky

I want this room >.<

Temple of Love <3

I watched a really cool fountain show where the water moved in time with the music. It was really pretty :)

I love you

Cornwall Adventures Day 2 (23/6/15) - Wadebridge, Walking & Windmills

Hiya!

I'm sorry I didn't update yesterday, I was really tired. And although I will be unable to update you on today's events, I kinda want to keep this in chronological order.

So here are yesterday's adventures, today.

And before I move on, here are photos of the glorious bath I mentioned before (sorry for the bad lighting):

Yesterday, I went to Wadebridge, a town close to where I'm staying. It's really cute, there are lots of little independent shops with various trinkets and mugs with adorable sayings such as "you are my happiness" and "wine gets better with age, I get better with wine".

Such sweetness...

I think you've lost some eggs...

I explored some of the shops and bought some yummies to satisfy my sweet tooth. They were amazing - especially the cream, which makes sense seeing as I'm in Cornwall, famous for their clotted cream. I then had lunch in a small cafe, which was nice. The waiters were so kind and friendly, and the food was delicious :)

In the afternoon, I went on a hike in the forest. I think we (my parents and I, and another family we kinda scraped with) weren't allowed to be in there as there were signs everywhere saying that no unauthorised people should be beyond certain points, but no one was there to stop us so...

Eh, whatever.

Look at all these logs, how cute and rustic-y...

...Oh :(

Whatcha lookin' at?!

Yes, I'm talking to you!

It's rude to stare >:(

*humph* Seriously, what?!

We ended up walking for almost three hours.

It was the most walking I'd done in a long time, and certainly too much exercise for a holiday! There were some pretty windmills though, so I guess that's a plus in terms of photo opportunities...

When I got back, my legs were aching, my feet hurt and my sweat glands were crying an ocean.

Never again, please.

❤️

I love you

And goodbye!
