28/06 Versailes, France

Woke up at 0900 and had a breakfast downstairs. Today was to go to the Versailles which was the most splendid and gorgeous palace in Europe. I left at 1030 and took train to Versailles. Versailles was unexpectedly far away from Paris. I had two times of train transit and arrived at Versailles around 1200.

The palace was so large. The gate was made of gold I guess...

I lined up for the free ticket outside and after getting inside,  I asked the informed desk and they said u did not need to line up. I just needed to show my passport at the entrance. Cool! ! Saved some timr of queuing. I then went line up to the entrance. My6month visa was fine and I got a free entry again..

I followed the majority to get inside the palace. Everything was very amazing and beautiful, and splendid. Many things were in gold color and many paintings during Louis periods were hung on the wall and wall paintings on the root as well. , which were very beautiful.

 I could also see the beds too, which was very classic. Then, I went inside the hall of mirror where had many mirrors reflecting images and gorgeous light decoration hung on the footnote Once I git inside, I was a bit impressed. I looked for people to help me take photos which sometimes was very difficult.

 

 

I could not imagine how grand and noble their life was. It was rainnig around 3. I did not go inside the garden, cuz I don't have enough time to do all. I got out around 1630. I went to sourvenir shops and bought two cans of tea produced in the garden of the palace and they smelled really good. It has rose and something else I forgot LOL. One to my family and one to Ms leung. I wanted to buy sth special to Ms leung. Somethings could not be found in other sourvenir shops outside. The salesman also said it could only be found in Versailles, which I thought was good for a gift.

I then tended to go to a garden which was quite far away from the palace but the rain was getting heavier. I turned this idea down and decided to go back to hostel. The train station was full of people and many people lining up for tickets. I lined up for the ticket machine for 40mins and found I could only put coins inside but I just had notes. What the hell. Then, I went to line up for the windows for another 30mins. I spent over 1 hour to buy ticket to Paris-.- Then I took the train at 1840 and then went to supermarket to buy stuff to cook for tonight's dinner.
