The art work in the Palace was great and it gave me a chance to learn more about the French royal family history. And I think that perhaps as kid I could have passed as one of the members of the royal family, what do you think?
The palace from the outside is very grand and the gardens are incredible. You could spend hours walking through the gardens. 
But my favourite room by far was the Hall of Mirrors. The Hall of Mirrors at the copy in Germany was no where near as good as the really one. The mirrors made the hall look double the side and the chandeliers where just amazing!
The next day Haley and Pia left. I was going to leave too but discovered that I could save 45 Euros if I left the next day so stayed the night at a hostel down the street from the other hotel. When I reached the hostel to check in I saw Anna from uni. I know she was also travelling around Europe but did not know she was in France. We went out for lunch and catch up each others travels. She had been travelling for over 5 months and was towards the end of her trip. It was great to see her and it made me feel like I was at home again.
After lunch I went to the Musee Picasso. I was really glad to have an extra day and get to see Picasso as he is one of my favourite artist. The museum was better than I expected, not only did it have all his paintings but it also had some of his sculptures. I loved it and it was great to see some of his earlier work before it became abstract.
That evening I went back to the hostel to see Anna but she was not around so instead I went to the Moulin Rouge. I did not see a show as they started at 100Euro so instead I sat a near by bar and had a glass of red and watched everyone go in for the show. It was great people watching.
The next day I took a train to Amsterdam, Holland with the hope to catch up with a friend from Melbourne called Max!
