Paris – day 2

8 Mar

When asked what we wanted to do in Paris we simply answered “to walk around the city as much as possible and take lots of pictures”. So that’s exactly what we did the next three days. We had no idea what we wanted to see, where we wanted to go – we just wanted to be on the streets of Paris, not having an itinerary and not knowing where we were.

Well, C. didn’t let that happen :) She said there are certain things we must see and she made the visiting plans for us. We saw a different part of the city each day and we couldn’t have been happier with the places we’ve been. On the second day we walked around Montmartre, where Sacré-Coeur is. I remembered the basilica from my first visit to Paris (I was 14 years old, it doesn’t really count) and I was happy to see it again. The thing I remembered about it was that I liked it :))

Montmartre was so bohemian – my kind of neighbourhood :) Well, OK, most of what I’ve seen in Paris can be labeled as ‘bohemian’, but I liked this part better than any other. I think on that day we walked from 12 o’clock until 6 or 7 in the afternoon. We just took the metro to get there and then go back home. By the time we got back we were literally exhausted. But we only got what we wanted :)

I’m so proud that I refrained myself from compulsively buying trivial souvenirs! Instead I bought some dresses :)) At least they’re more practical. And I didn’t buy many presents either. It was a low-cost trip all the way :)
