the Garden at Versailles

We got in trouble at Versailles for drinking wine in the garden. Feel slightly ashamed for being so disrespectful to a world heritage, but the garden was sooo big, and there were trash cans and benches and we didn't disturb anyone (except the guard who yelled at us) and didn't make a mess... anyway. We both felt that Versailles was a bit too much for us, too many tourists and too BIG. The 45 min queue to get tickets didn't help. Not one of our favourtie sites...

Paris, Banks of the Seine

The first night we spent in Paris we walked from our hotel in Montparnasse up to Seine (a longer walk than we had expected), and the view was breath taking.

Welcome to our competition's blog!

This is a new (all english) forum for our world heritage competition, where we will discuss our recently visited sites, recommend our favourites and mock those who have visited less heritages than us. Enjoy! :)
