Birthday in Paris - Day 2

We spent our birthday in Disneyland Paris! It was absolutely amazing!

We started the day with such a nice lie in because staying up till 2/3am two nights in a row is seriously tiring! We then went and had a really scummy breakfast of croissants, french baguette and all things yummy, and then opened our presents afterwards. I got a camera from my dad, which I'm so pleased about as now I can take lovely photos that will help me to remember all the fun things I've done and places I've been, in years to come. Apryl's mum got us both a beautiful silver necklace with a clear jewel pendent, which is just so lovely!

Disneyland was absolutely brilliant! I just love how everything is so colourful and everyone's so so happy. It was the spring fesitval when we went, so there were thousands of flowers in so many colours.

We went on pretty much all the rides I think! My favourite one was definitely either the Indiana Jones one or big thunder mountain. They were both roller-coasters and even though I've been to Thorpe Park with bigger ones before, they were seriously good. I also loved the small world ride where you sit in a little boat and sail around the world - the music is just so cute! One of the attractions was to drive around a course in a little car. I thought I was going to be good at it as I'm learning to drive but oh no, I was so bad! We crashed loads of times.

The great thing about Disneyland is how you can eat soooo much scrummy food and no one judges you! I had a burger with chips for lunch, which we ate outside (yep, it was pretty hot!). the burger was really cool because it was in a bagel which I've never seen before. I'd like to say I stopped eating after that, but no, this happened:

The most candyfloss I've ever seen

At the end of the day, Apryl, Chris (Apryl's dad) and I pretended that Chris was a really famous person. It was absolutely hilarious with Apryl trying to get his autograph and me running up beside them trying to get a shot of 'the celebrity'. So many people were looking so I'm pretty sure they believed it! Chris then photo bombed so many people's photos. There's this one massive group photo where Chris is standing at the back smiling away, and absolutely no one noticed.

To round off an amazing birthday we went to this little restaurant in Paris near our apartment for a yummy meal. Once we were back we had cake, because really there's no such thing as a birthday unless there's cake. It was absolutely delicious! The local patisserie made it for us. I didn't think I would be able to manage it after eating so much that day but it wasn't too filling at all so it was all good.

Ok, so a really bad picture but the cake was insanely good

It was such an amazing weekend away! The Monday was horrible - getting up at 4am to catch our train and then straight into school for a full day of lessons, but it was completely worth it for the brilliant time I had.
