Wheeling Into City Of Love, Paris

AFTER THREE NIGHTS SPENT IN FRANKFURT, it is time for us to move on.. And our next destination is Paris!
Our train schedule for Paris was at 1pm...
Here's our train... As usual, we jabs to wait for special assistance to get me up...
Soon we were on our way to Pa Lai...
Journey took around four hours...
Reached and took a cab to our home stay which was right in town.. Narrow roads and busy traffic... I think I cannot get used to living here for long term...
Rested for the night after cooking something light..
Next morning we took a cab to the popular sights... The Louvre Museum!
Very impressed with the sights..
Spent a few hours there ...
Tourists were aplenty...
Spent our time taking pictures before entering the museum which was almost impossible to enter...
Spent some moments standing up too.. Let some blood flow...
Museum where the famous Mona Lisa painting lays...
Saw many people taking picture of this glass pyramid building...
We were contemplating whether to go into the museum or not and we were so glad that we did! The long queue was for 'normal' people.. For wheelchair-ers and companions, there was no queue at all! 
Before we went in, Aaron did this Standing this way and seemed to be able to touch the tip ... 
Stood on this too... Good eh....

And how about this?  Hahaaaa... 
I can touch even on wheels!!
Nothing is impossible to the able and disabled... So don't give up on anything !

    Everything is lovely and impressive. Which reminded me, my hubby went to Paris around this time too last year. Pretty chilling at this time now.

    Er.. the traffic, probably not much worse compared to KL lah. But people there speak no English one, that's the reason I don't think I can live there for long term too.

    I think, if I am ever given a chance to choose again, I won't pay the entrance fee for the Louvre. Me no art man, the exhibits did nothing to wow me. Only the pyramid is interesting, and we can access it from the outside for free.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
