Paris...

FRANCE | Wednesday, 23 June 2010 | Views [365]

22nd

After a 23hour drag of flying with a 4 hour break in between I landed in Paris. The flight itself was awesome, was full of food the whole time, Singapore airlines feed ya well, and I regret not pocketing quite a few free toblerones. Singapore stop at airport was good, 31 degrees at 7pm at night, was nice inside though an such a sweet airport. Started feeling like I had hit the wall sleep wise towards the end of the 4 hour break and tried crashing on the seats there. Got on the plane and was hoping I could sleep a lot of the way but only managed to get a couple hours in, so heres me after a full day in paris with sweet stuff all sleep in a few days, now I have hit the wall. 

Today was perfect here, flew in and the outside temp was 10degs. Flew through customs and a dude I had met on the plane helped me to find the right train to get to where kylie was. Needed to talk to a few people throughout the day to get me places and buy a sim card etc, was interesting, a lot speak English, at least enough to help out. And I haven’t come across an arrogant Parisian yet that hasn’t talked back to me. Apparently last few days have been ass here and I think I brought the weather. Happy as. Got showered at kylies, then hit the streets, headed for the Eiffel tower and Arc de Triomphe. The buildings here are sick, EVERY one looks as if its hundreds of years old, but theyre all mint.

Got to the Eiffel, had lunch with kylie. Plenty of people there! Queues for miles to get up the top. We just mucked around down the bottom watching people and taking photos. Got the metro back to the apartment and I spent the arvo with Marion, kylies ex’s best mate and kylie went of for a 'textbook' shop. Good laxing afternoon.

After a full on day full of walking, sun and little sleep, ive pretty much hit the wall now. Since the apartment kylie staying in is a showbox, I went for a walked and found a random hostel down a little alley. 8.30pm here and its still sunny like its midday, starting to screw with my body clock. Think im going to hit the sack! 

Paris is sick though! Plenty of honeys, cool people and good sights.

Out

23rd

Got some good zzzz's last night so got up early, place i stayed had breakfast all ready to go. Headed to kylies and then we left to check out the Louvre and Musèe du Louvre. Massive museum, crowds of people. Was a good morning. walked through different parts of town todays got lunch at a little cafe and sat in the sun! Looking forward to getting to Antibes tomorrow and get settle, and hopefully find myself a job! Think this afternoon we might head up the Eiffel and then go out for a few drinks tonight! Leaving at 8am tomorrow so need to organise a place to stay for the night.

Loving this place, and keen to get to the Riviera for plenty of sun, beaches, you get the idea.

Hope winter isnt kicking in too much back home, bummer!! haha

Will try to work out how to upload pics on here soon! internet is hard to come by
