Breakfast in London, Lunch in Brussels, Dinner in Paris?

I have not posted for a while been busy sorting different things out and honestly did not have anything too interesting to wrhe ite about.
Last week however me and my husband decided to do a mini road trip to France and spend the day in Paris and 1 night there. Im telling you being spontaneous can be soo much fun! Anyways we had our breakfast at about 6am and hit of straight away to Folkstone where we would take our car into the train and end up in Calais. Subhana'Allah after only 35 mins we arrived at Calais and it was still the morning of the same day!!! Our plan was to drive to the motor way hotel we had booked with on the outer part of Paris. But when we saw the road signs saying Beligium my husband decided that maybe we could do beligium for the afternoon and return to France for dinner. Masha'Allah we had an excellent time it was so much fun and I was suprsied to see how many Muslim women in hijab there were masha'Allah they were everywhere! We finally went back to France drove to Paris and checked into the hotel then caught the metro into central Paris where we visited Champs-Elysees and had dinner there. Can you believe by the time we took the metro back to the hotel it was just past 11pm now although we were sooooo tired we could not believe how much we accomplished in one day! Already there seemed to be much Barakah in the time and the next day proved exactly the same! I do have some photos of his trip which I need to load up onto the computer and ill post them soon insha'Allah.

The next day we returned to the Champs-Elysees as my husband very very generously bought me a 6 month supply of Sephora make up lol! We then took our time wondering in and out of the shops mostly the Car show rooms which had fantastic models of dream cars which are not even on the road known as 'Concept Cars'. We then headed down for the Muslim part of Paris where we found some lovely halal coffee shops and restaurants, we also visited Paris Mosque which is huge and stunning Allahu Akbar! They are doing work on it but when its finished it will be even more breath taking then it is at the moment. Pictures to Follow!

So what can you do in a day... Breakfast in London... Lunch in Brussels and Dinner in Paris!
