Hello here I am ready to talk off my adventures at the Louvre.
- Early mornings
- Daisy explenation
- The hunt and Mona Lisa
- Home time
Early Morning
Today my mum and dad woke me up early with 30 minutes to go until the Louvre treasure hunt. We got ready as fast as we could. Which turned out to quite a hassle. We were all really stressed. Finally we were ready for the Louvre.......
Daisy Explanation
When we got to the Louve there was a nice lady named Daisy waiting for us. She explained the rules of the hunt to us.
And this is the her logo.
We were playing in teams. In mum and my team this was our strategy.
And here is an is all the things you had to find.

| As you can see we only found seventeen of them. |
