I finally did it!!! the longest holiday since I started working. No worries about work and other not so good stuff, just consecutive days of fun, breaking through and unexpected larks. That’s what HOLIDAY is all about anyway!
17th of August, we left Victoria Coach Station at around nine pm then arrived at Dover Port at midnight. Yeah, we took a ferry from this Port to I don’t even know where… ferry ride lasted for about 2.5 hours, too bad I didn’t see the view for it was dark outside. Half past six in the morning of the following day…. when we reached PARIS!!! I could still remember the morning breeze and how it ruffled my hair.
My first worry: how to get to the ‘Youth and Happy’ hostel??? I was hoping then that I could find someone (not necessarily a pretty French guy) whom I can ask for the direction. As I was figuring out which way to take, a French guy approached me and asked if I need any help, I replied with ‘YES’ (in my very sweet voice) and voila, there I was walking on the side of the metro! The hostel was just 5 min walk from ‘Placemonge’ metro thus it isn’t hard to find though, I had to ask an old Indian guy’s help for me to get to the hostel.
P-A-R-I-S, I love this city! Yeah, 3 days was quick but, it’s more than enough for me to be mesmerized by this city of lights! Resting in the park (at the back of Notre Dame) with my Crepe and Jambon Fromage Panini had brought an inexplicable sense of tranquility. How can I forget the panorama of the city from the Eiffel Tower and its own vision from an acre of lawn just across from where it stands! Extremely awesome! Chateau de Versailles, located in the suburb of Paris is unquestionably astonishing. It’s one of the most breathtaking piece/place/thing (I don’t even know where to categorize it) I’ve even seen or been (oh yeah, confusing)! Spending the afternoon in the Museu De Louvre park was very comforting. The fountains compose their own music and the pyramids gleams with or without the touch of the sun.
There are so many good things to say about Paris, a million actually. I should've stayed another day though. I met nice people as well, Sarah (Irish), Jessica (Am), Alli (Am), Sean (Can). The late night chat, walk near the hostel and laughter that I shared with them will never be forgetton!
And oh thanks to Sarah for buying me my last beer in Paris... She's generous (Sarah, you know what I mean...) *wink*
Adieu Paris, Barcelone Bonjour, je serai de retour à venir!!!
