Day 7
This was a really sad day, i had to go back to Paris, only if knew that Cannes was so cool, i would have booked the hotel for more days, well, again, there is still next summer, :-).
After Cannes, it took me 5 hours of boring trip in TGV to reach Paris,by the time i arrived, it is already noon, so i had lunch and went straight away to The Notre Dame Cathedral. The building look something like this:
~Notre Dame~
and there were some statues around and on it like the ones below:
~Middle Finger~
~Headless One~
~Horseman~
Next was the Infamous Eiffel Tower, i was lucky this time, good timing, just at the right time when the tower looked the best, at least that is what i think.
~Me And Eiffel~
~Eiffel Tower~
Right after Eiffel Tower, the next victim was the Louvre Pyramid, it was truly a beautiful sight to see the pyramid to glow during the night and the sky was red, just perfect, if i just had a tripod or a robot-steady-hand, i could take some better pictures.
~Pyramid Louvre~
The day was short and ended early,i had my dinner at McD and went straight to the bed.
End of Day 7
Day 8
It was Merdeka Day today but there weren't much planned to celebrate it, i wasn't in Malaysia after all, anyway after the late breakfast, i went to the Eiffel Tower again to have a view of Paris from the tower's peak. Well, as normal, it just looked the same but smaller. But one thing for sure, this tower is damn big for something made almost entirely out of steel.
~David and Goliath~
On my way up to the peak of the tower, i saw a few drawings that show The Statue of Liberty in Paris, not far from the tower, since i had nothing much to do,i went looking for the statue right after i finished my tour of the tower.
~Statue Of Liberty~
After Statue of Liberty, i traveled to the place where the Bastille used to be,which now only a busy roundabout with a tall Monument in the middle of it.
~Roundabout Bastille~
It was really a boring and tiresome day for me, i don't appreciate buildings so much, i am not an architect you know.
end of day 8
Day 9
This is the last day i will be in France,a part of me was sad, and the other part of me was happy because i can go back to watch 2 whole seasons of One Tree Hill at my room.
Anyway, my flight wais not until 8pm, so i need to do something to kill time, then i decided to go and see the other less famous but some say beautiful artistic buildings in Paris, the 1st was Pantheon, it was sure a pretty building, from the outside,unfortunately one need to pay to get inside, but i had enough of museums, so i pass.
~Pantheon~
~Pantheon From Below~
Next building was a Palace once upon a time before,but now it is just another building for show.It had a name that was so hard to spell and say as the name of Arnold The Terminator, Conciergerie,there was nothing much to see here. Anyway, enjoy the pix:
~Inner Part~
after that, i really had enough of paris, and went hunting for food, a really good one, i asked a man earlier on this day, to recommend me a restaurant where i can dine for good french food, but he answered me ' you can go to any of the restaurant, all offer french food'. Damn, why i didn't thought of that myself, really dumb answer. At the end, i had my last meal in France at one their own fast food outlet, it wasn't disappointing, at least it had a different taste than McD and KFC.
My final stop was the airport. Finally going back to Germany. I really had spent a lot at France, and i am broke right now, need to stay quite and eat instant noodle everyday from now onwards.
end of trip
