My Year in Paris: Parc Asterix

Last weekend, we ahd the most gorgeous weather for autumn, clear and sunny and it got all the way upto 20degrees on Saturday! On Saturday we went shopping at a big mall which is about 25 minutes away on the bus, was quite nice to have everything there in one place and there was a huge supermarket there that had lots of gluten free goodies for me - yay! I had to leave early as I had a meeting with my project supervisor(yes on a Saturday...). On Sunday, we were off to Parc Asterix (similiar to Disneyland but with Asterix). everyone else had a pretty good idea about Asterix, Obelix and the like from their childhood. I vaguely remember reading some of the comics, I definately had a Disney childhood!

There was one problem with our plan, the park is located close to the airport (which is on the other side of Paris) and the RER B is currently under repair so in order to get there we had to take a train, and then 2 buses - fun! We left at 9am and got to the park just after 12pm, which included a 40 min wait at the airport for the bus to the park! Photo above on the train (not a good photo of me!) and below on the bus :)

But we finally arrived, it was great, the park was really quiet and we hardly had to wait to get onto any rides. They were all so much fun. I'm contemplating getting a year long ticket!

There were a few water rides which would be good fun in summer, we went on one that we thought wasn't going to get us too wet and I got soaked as did a few others!

Probably the only line we waited in - about 1hr. Was totally not worth it, I still don't understand why everyone was waiting there...

Yay fairy floss, we did all the things are parents wouldn't have allowed us to do, had chips for lunch, overdosed on sugar from fairy-floss, got wet...

All ready to go have fun after sitting on the bus for 3 hrs! The park was laid out in a similiar way to Disneyland with various 'worlds', like Greek world, Roman world etc, apparently they each related to one of Asterix's adventures.
