Got here on Thursday, made a couple of mates straight up and we got together to climb the Eiffel Tower. This was an amazing experience which left me breathless for 2 reasons: 1. We took the 686 stairs to the 2nd level and 2. the view over paris is unbelievable!! After that I got back and pretty much just crashed in the dorm. Made some wikd friends in the dorm too. Actually we were up til after 12 playing a great new card game i learnt called Kaiser!! The best game in the whole world...because i won!! haha
That night someone was snoring...grrr...still slept very well.
Day two in Paris was the best. I mean nothing beats 8 hours on your feet wandering after a AWESOME tour guide through the highlights of paris, then going off with another set of new mates and redoing half the tour again!! Then I went and did some mini grocery shopping so i had something to eat for dinner. Got lucky in the lift, ran into a (really cute) guy who just happened to be heading to the Louvre the same time as me. We were both meeting mates but in the end our mates weren't there and we'd gotten ourselves seriously lost!! Ended up spending 2 and a half wikd funny hours in the Louvre together taking pictures of the most random stuff. Every time he got the camera he took AT LEAST one picture of himself haha After that we tried to make it to the pubcrawl but didn't so we gathered with others and played bullshit for hours and then just chatted until wayy past 1am haha great night. Best part was the jaegermeister+redbull=jaegerbomb!! MAte bout me one cos he reckons its gonna fix my sore throat...yeahh right!! actually it worked...woke up in the morning and felt great!! Met a great english girl who lives in London.
We gathered for brekky Sat morning and then headed off shopping in the elite and expensive shopping region of Saint Honore!! Yeahh we bought stuffs!! Then we got back to the hostel asked for a good restaurant which i shall now recommend!! Its called Jaures and they sell the best snails in well yeahh...they're good there. Big dishes and great food!! So yes I have tried snails and i loved it!! lol I'll be in the backyard looking for lunch when i get home lmao Love to try forgs legs too but idk where to find them. Tonight's the next pubcrawl and that's where I'll be. Doubt I'll drink much but yehh...it'll still be fun.
The hostel is fantastic!! So many friendly people. Everyone is inviting and easy to talk to. Everyone wants to make new friends and have a great time!! Bathrooms for the girls are a bit...yehhh but im my fathers daughter and so i say meh! Doing my best to practice my french but everytime they seem to realise that i speak english and reply in english. Mind you i dont understand a word people say to me in french haha
Tomorrow im doing a tour around the area where the moulin rouge is and then im hoping to catch a show in the evening haha its like 100 euro but eh! When in Paris!! lmao Its gonna be great...if i can get in. Bought a really nice bag...oh oh! Probably should have kept that to myself but i just couldnt resist buying it!! It was gorgeous and on sale...lol
Ive reactivated my facebook so yehh checkthat out too!! Its the best way to keep in contact with all the peoples im meeting!!
In the hostel, i have just discovered that 80% of the people satying here are from Australia! haha So yehh thats been really great having people to relate to an stuffs. Trying to find the cheapest way to get over to London and then back again...my London friend got her ticket return trip for 50 pounds so im gonna look into something like that for me aswell...maybe i'll get lucky ay??!!!
Well thats all for now!! Xx see you laters!!
