Sealife Aquarium and Montparnasse tower

The SeaLife centre in Val d'Europe shopping centre is A-Okay, not good not bad, just a little nice entertainment - got to touch a starfish and some slimey character. It was nicely done though, themed wtc, while I was there I thought of some things - oooh I can write this and that but now 2 days later all I can remember are the 2 HUGE tortoises swimming around and how disappointed I was at first because all the sharks were tiny (the decent sized sharks were in a different tank). We got to see rays being fed and one of them came to the surface so you could see it up close - which was so cool! 

+ the lady talked about them a bit and told us how you can see if it's a male or a female - highlight of the day - the male has 2 visible "penises" :D I felt like a five year old giggling there, and later I saw those on some sharks as well... This information will stay with me forever!

On Sunday we wanted to go to the Manoir de Paris a similar thing to the London Dungeons. Had read great reviews about it that said they take you in in small groups. Alarm bells!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO NO NO NO I want to be invisible in a large group! Like in the London Dungeons! OMG I really didn't want to go. 40 minutes of being scared all the time, but Mr. Special wanted to go so badly so I finally gave in. But destiny was against us :D There was some accident or something on line 4 which meant that it wasn't running anymore. And we were in Montparnasse, so getting to Gare de l'Est with other lines would've been a bit tricky...

Montparnasse tower it is then :D Surprisingly I got a child ticket with my ISIC student card and Mr. Special got a student price with his student card (that hasn't got a date on it so usually it's not accepted). Good start + there were no queues to get in (about 3 o'clock on a Sunday). Naturally the view is breathtaking and awesome and like I've said before I'm a sucker for nice views, I just have to go wherever there's a nice view. So I look at it for 5 mins max, take 10 photos and I'm done, we can go now :D :D :D :D :D :D Found everything: the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower etc. Why do I have to stare at them for half an hour? Yeah I'm a controversial person I know that :D On the 56th floor there are screens that tell you what you can see from that particular point and even zoom in on them and nice informatic interactive screens that tell you the history of Paris and have a quizz at the end - about 10 or so different themes. I decided to look at the metro one. It was soooooooooooo loooooooooooooooong. Interesting but neverending. We noticed that now there was a bit of a crowd gathering as well and a queue to go down (when we went up there was only one other person - an employee - in the lift with us) - perfect timing :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
