Discovering The Best Places to Visit in Europe
This is my second visit to the iris garden in the Parc de Bagatelle. Irises are so amazing! I think I love them more than any other flower. The colours and varieties are incredible. This is the best display of irises I have ever seen anywhere in the world. I will definitely be back next year for more.
Yesterday I went to the Parc de Bagatelle with Leesa. The irises are still in flower but they probably only have a week or so to go before they are finished for another year. It’s also worth visiting for the peonies if you like them. It’ll still be a couple more weeks before all the roses are in flower so I’ll be heading back some time in June to check that out.
It’s only been a month since I first went to this park but it has already become one of my favourite parks in Paris. It’s quiet and beautiful and a nice alternative to the overcrowded parks you find in the centre of Paris.
I’ve never really noticed peonies before today. I never thought they were anything special so have never grown them or bought them. Today at the Parc de Bagatelle, I saw the fantastic peony display they have near the Chateau de Bagatelle. Really beautiful flowers in many colours.
Andy Roddick (United States) def Jarkko Nieminen (Finland) 6-2 4-6 4-6 7-6 6-3
I thought this was going to be a boring match but after the first set it actually became interesting with Nieminen taking the lead. Shame he wasn’t able to be more consistent and beat the annoying Yank.
Justine Henin (Belgium) def Tsvetana Pironkova (Bulgaria) 6-4 6-3
As to be expected, this was a fairly one-sided match. Pironkova played a few good shots here and there but that was it. Justine Henin gets my vote to win this year’s championship.
Serena Williams (United States) def Stefanie Voegele (Switzerland) 7-6 6-2
Didn’t expect the Swiss girl to put up such a good fight. She played really well in the first set and had a chance to win it but it wasn’t to be. Serena then dominated the second set and quickly put her out of her misery.
Roger Federer (Switzerland) def Peter Luczak (Australia) 6-4 6-1 6-2
This is the match I really wanted to see. I love Roger Federer! I’ve only seen him play live once before, about a decade ago, before he was number one so was glad to finally get the chance to see him play again. Of course he won with ease as he was in top form.
Caroline Wozniacki (Denmark) def Alla Kudryavtseva (Russia) 6-0 6-3
Only saw the last 10 minutes of this match but can’t say it looked too interesting.
