With the holidays finally over I’ve decided that its time to finish wrapping up our honeymoon re-caps.  This is where we last left off and now without further ado here goes the rest.

On our fifth day we got up bright and early and headed out to the château de Versailles.  Since I had done all the planning for our trip the hubby had no idea what to expect.  Every time we did something it  was very exciting to see his reaction. This is the entrance to Versailles and as you can see there are a lot of tourist making their way there.  We took a train from Paris to Versailles and if you ever do the same just keep in mind that it cost more than your regular metro ticket.

At the St. Pancras International Station we purchased a 5 day Paris Museum Pass and we first decided to use it at Versailles.  We had to purchase a separate ticket to access the beautiful gardens but it was well worth it.  The museum pass is pricey but if you’re anything like us then you’ll use it to its full potential.  There are two lines when you get there one is for people who have museum passes and the other one is for everyone else.  Once you get into the main area be careful not to be whisked away by all the tourist around you and don’t forget to be vigilant since there are pickpockets everywhere.  When you get inside you are able to get an audio tour device in whatever language you speak.  Everything works like clockwork and the stream of tourist are encouraged to go through the château first and the gardens last.  Since I tend to do things my own way I asked the hubby if he would join me in the gardens first.  As we were heading back outside all the employees we encountered kept telling us to go back into the château because they said it would get packed later on during the day.  We somehow made our way outside and as we did I just have to say the ambiance became more relaxing.

Nothing else compares to Versailles! We were amazed with all the beauty around us.  I loved seeing the gardens first since it felt like we had them all to ourselves.
