Day 2

We get into Charles de gaulle Airport in the early morning onThursday and catch a train into the city of Paris to the Quartier Latin, where our hostel for the next 5 nights is. Everybody is dying to have a shower but our rooms are not available yet, so we just freshen up, grab some lunch from the surrounding shops and take a 30 minutes walk to the Lourve along the Seine river.We visit Leonardo’s Mona Lisa and bath our feet in the fountain near the new glass pyramid entry of the Museum.
Day lights fades at around 9 pm and everybody is happy to hit the sack and catch up on some good sleep.
