Paris, je.. crois que vous etês ok

It’s taken ages to write this one, but here goes. On Wednesday last week I headed up to Paris and met my gf there. We had booked an apartment through ahparis.com, and everything went smoothly. The place was located pretty perfectly as it took around 7 minutes to walk to the Notre Dame and the Louvre.
The weather was great the first day after which the temperatures plummeted well under the 20C mark. Even with the not so nice weather we wandered around the city and noticed that if you don’t feel the urge to wait hours in lines to go and see the Mona Lisa or get on top of the Eiffel tower, it’s possible to see a lot in three days. I got to see pretty much everything I wanted apart from the Arc de Triomphe–but one can always just Google that. Instead, I got to experience random schlager singers in the metro and supposedly mute people trying to rip off tourists. Actually, maybe the local police was Jesus, because after a brief encounter with the officer one of the mute ones miraculously started talking!
All in all I did like Paris a lot, but with all the hype around it you still feel a bit disappointed. I think three days isn’t enough, and that the city has more to offer than a couple of famous buildings if only you knew where to look.

Picard Surgeles has a cool concept: a supermarket that sells only frozen food
Great pics, great memories!
Who took the pic of you by the cathedral?
It was this random Norwegian girl!
