For a long time I have dreamed to go to Paris especially now when I live in London as it is so easy to go there by Eurostar but still I hadn't done so. Two weeks ago when I was just laying on my bed and surfing in facebook I saw that one of my best friends is planning to go to Paris. I didn't even think twice but bought the ticket almost right away and didn't even ask her what her exact plans are, who she is going with, where she is staying. It was just the right feeling and good push to finally reach the destination I had dreamed of.
So last weekend I packed my little bag and sat on the train towards Paris. I wouldn't have expected its so comfortable and it takes just 3,5h! The train went straight from the center of London and I had to be there just 20 min before departure...no travelling to the airport, security controls and waiting for two hours for the plane to arrive. When I arrived Paris and stepped out from the train station I had the best feeling ever...to see the architecture, the people; and hear the language- it just seemed like in the movie. I think I sound like I travelled first time in my life but Paris just has so good impact on me and I loved the city to the pieces!
My friends still hadn't arrived by the time I arrived so I was just walking with no direction or map knowing where im going but it was the best 3-hour-walk of my life. There was just so much to see everywhere...and the feeling of getting lost and not knowing where you will end up!:) After three hours I finally went to the nearest metro station to see where I am and look for a way to the hotel where I had to meet my friends. On my trip I was actually planning to stay at a hostel as my friends had already booked a hotel a long ago but luckily we managed to get an extra bed in their room so we could stay all together.
The whole weekend was great!
Sightseeing- saw the Eiffel tower that is actually smaller than I had imagined. Went to the top of the tower where the view is superb. Louvre! Notre Dame!
Boat trip- I have been in London several times on a boat trip on River Thames so I couldn't miss the boat trip in Paris on River Seine at night when all the buildings are lighten up.
Club- Of course in every city I visit I have to experience the nightlife. We had no idea which club is good in Paris but luckily I had read few days before the trip a Design magazine where was written about the club Le' Arc and its design. Therefore, we decided to go there and it was a good choice. We got inside straight away even though there was a que; there wasn't any entrance fee or at least we didn't have to pay it; we were invited to the a vip area where we had free drinks all night; the music was great; people were great and design was good. All the night was so much fun! The funny thing is that me, Keili & K2tlin woke up in the morning in the same bed- party clothes on, make-up on, wearing contact lenses and a laptop was beneath us! I have no idea how we passed out like that:)
Food- I usually eat just chicken but in Paris they didn't sell any chicken at all so I made some exceptions and tried duck, beef and pigeon. Two of my friends were all the time eating oysters but I hate seafood- no fish whatsoever but at on one dinner they were insisting me to try at least one oyster! So I tried- tears were running down on my cheeks and I couldn't think of the taste but just how I could swallow it down so it wouldn't come back up. Finally, I managed it and survived but im sure it was the first and last oyster of my life.
The most I love about Paris is that there is so much to see- you can look anywhere there is always a view to something!
So now I know how easy it is to get there and how beautiful the city is so its just a matter of time when im back in Paris;)
