Day 10 and day 11

In the morning we packed, and then we gave our bags to the man that we rented the apartment from to look after. We caught a train because my father and Leith had been at the printing show all week and hadn’t seen any of Berlin; we walked around to show them the Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, and Checkpoint Charlie. A bit later in the afternoon, we caught a train back to the where the people were keeping our luggage. We then caught a maxi-taxi (and you would think it was huge) to the airport. We had a problem at the airport, though, and they said our bags were past their maximum weight, and that they would let us get away with it - ONCE! We caught an airplane to London, with Leith and where we caught another flight to Paris. We had to wait almost an hour before we left because there was an error and they had to order an emergency crew. When we arrived in France, we picked up our luggage - that is of course, except our toiletry bag - which was left in London as they had forgotten to put it on the plane. There were lots of people that had the same problem and we will not go on British Airways again! When we eventually were at the hotel, it was half-past ten at night, and when I sat down to wait, I fell asleep! At our room, which is 504, Jack collapsed; but who could blame him? I did, too.

Our eleventh day was huge as well. We went to Parc Asterix. It started by us catching a train from our hotel to the airport, where we waited for a bus to go to it. The first thing we did was line up to go on a roller coaster called Le Vol d’lcare. It took quite a while to get to it and after we went on another roller coaster called La Trace du Hourra which was my favourite one that we went on. This one went up and down and was VERY high! After that we had lunch, which were hot dogs and watched some characters from Asterix walking around the park. I got a photo with Asterix and another character called Obelix. There was a cool village that we walked through called Les Gaulois and we saw Obelix’s house. We watched a comedy show (in French) that was really funny – it was like Le lob de put na to me! I didn’t understand a word but it was funny! We kept checking lines on other rides but they were all HUGE. We walked through a miniature France and went to Les Artisans where we saw an old fashioned potter, a sculptor and other artists. There were so many souvenirs there and we bought an Asterix comic book for me, a hat, and a unicorn with a warrior sitting on it and a nice looking T-shirt. Jack got a warrior too, an Asterix PSP game, an Asterix colouring book and a T-shirt as well.

After catching the train back to our hotel station we went to a French restaurant for dinner and it was beautiful!
