Paris, Day 1–8th May 2011 (Part 1)

AirAsia X flies into Orly airport. We were in the Orly Sud (south) terminal early in the morning, about 9am and proceeded straight to the Tourisme Information (TI) counters.

After waiting for the lady to finish flirting with another guy, we were attended to quite well, in English. We bought all the necessary tickets, and Museum pass here too.

The OrlyVal train costs 10.25 Euros and goes straight to Antony, before we had to connect with the RER B line into Chatelet-Les Halle.

Lotus doing some last minute reading from our super guide book, Rick Steve’s (http://www.ricksteves.com/). It’s well written with lots of tips and good advices, for example, selection of entrances, which tickets to use, best time to visit, and most importantly, as a guide to each of the places we visited. It gives good historical write up and anecdotes. The book never left our side throughout the trip and was definitely the backbone in our everyday planning.

Justin was tired after getting little sleep on the flight, relaxing and just taking in the scenery.

Note: I’ve decided to break this blog into smaller parts, so that it’s easier for me to blog daily.
