Hardys Abroad in London and Paris

We fell in love with Europe and both caught the travel bug bad during our ten days in Europe. London and Paris was amazing! We loved every second and our trip went off without a hitch!

Instead of laying out every detail of our trip, here are some of the pictures from the best trip ever! We are still talking about how perfect it was. We can't wait to travel abroad again!

If you are interested in tips on how we booked our trip, travel tips, or how to afford to travel when you're young and married, I have tons of tips on my new Hunter Girls DIY Life Blog that I started with my mom and sisters.

We stayed at the very top and with no lift, that's a lot of stairs!

We tried fish and chips at a pub near our hotel.

We stayed across the street from Hyde Park. We explored Kensington Palace and the park.


We loved seeing Buckingham Palace! This city is amazing at dusk/night.

We LOVED the Barclays bikes all over the city. This was probably one of our favorite parts of the trip.
We loved mastering the Tube! So convenient! 

Second day we saw all the major sites near Parliament/Big Ben

Trafalgar Square

Church near the park with an amazing piano player.

Our favorite site. Big Ben is beautiful!

London Eye

Big Ben looks good from every angle.
We went to Whole Foods on our bikes and bought food for the week.

Westminster Abbey!

Wicked was amazing! Totally worth seeing if you are in London.
Berkshire is beautiful! Everything is so green and beautiful.

WIndsor Castle


We got busted for taking pictures, as you can see by my facial expression.

Leaning House

Windsor Castle is the oldest inhabited castle.
Stonehenge was a favorite. Very cool, the trip out is pretty long though and it is in the middle of nowhere.

Christ's Church at Oxford where Harry Potter was filmed.
We shopped at Harrods.

Tower of London

Tower bridge

Natural History Museum 

Church was like a visitor center in the middle of London. We thought it was a temple at first!


On our way to Paris!

Trying to get to Hogwarts at Kings Cross Station.

Seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time was one of the best moments of my life! I've been dying to see it since I was little.
View from the Eiffel Tower. We climbed all the stairs to get to the top. A little scary but worth it!
View from the top of Notre Dame

Gargoyles

Notre Dame
We locked our love on the bridge.



We loved the Louvre, checked it off of the bucket list.
Versailles is the coolest palace we saw on our trip! It's beautiful and worth the train ride out of Paris.

We had creme brulee in Paris! Everything we ate was so delicious!
Favorite view from the Arc de Triumphe
Crepe carts 
The famous tea room Angelina famous for their hot chocolate


We loved relaxing at all of the parks and watching the sunsets
The Catacombs under the streets of Paris

We watched the sunset and the lights come on...


Sacre Coeur, the only place where I was actually worried about my safety.
Celebrated my 24th birthday. Best. Trip. EVER.

All in all, it was the best trip and we can't wait to go on our next adventure. Who wants to go to Ireland or Italy?!
