Paris & LonDON (6-17 november 2014)
Day 1: 6 Nov (SIN-PARIS)
This has been a long, long overdue post but still like to jot down some precious moments here and to share some travel tips. :)
This trip to Paris & London was the very first away trip for us since the birth of Baby Faith. It was a great time to enjoy some couple time together. This would not have been possible if not for the great family support that we have, especially from my dearest mummy! Muacks! On the night of 5th November, we kissed our precious darling goodbye and left for the airport to take an early morning flight to Paris.
Arrived in Paris on 6th November, around 7am Paris time. Got train tickets and headed towards our hotel, HotelHome Paris 16 Apartment. Chose this hotel as it has rather good reviews on Tripadvisor and each apartment comes with a kitchenette and a fridge with freezer; very important as I was planning to bring freeze and bring my milk back for Baby Faith. First impression counts! The hotel was prompt in replying to enquiries. The little kitchenette also allowed us to prepare some simple meals so we could save on eating in. They provided a basic set of food items too, like tea, coffee, milk.
It was quite a tough journey from airport to hotel as we had to change trains 2-3 times and some stations had terrible huge flight of steps even from one platform to another. We were relieved to reach our hotel apartment but it was too early for check in. I deposited my milk with them and we went for brunch at a nearby cafe. Delicious food and huge portion. We went on a little walk around the quiet neighbourhood before returning to our hotel for check in.

We left our luggage and went out to our first point of interest, Boulevard Haussmann, and walked around the area.
Day 2: 7 Nov
Today is Museum day and off we went to Musee d'orsay. It is one of the major must-visit places in Paris and we definitely won't miss it. We had earlier got the Museum Pass at the airport and we went in quite fast without having to queue for the tickets. It was a huge museum with many rooms and was impossible to view every exhibit. We went to
