The trainride to Paris was uneventful. We went by Thalys, a highspeed train of the SCNF. The distance between Brussels and Paris we made in not even one and a half hour. As we arrived in Paris was the weather rainy and cloudy but not cold.

Our hostel is okay. The internet is expensive but what can ya do!
We are sharing our room with a couple other persons. The room is not as nice as the other ones we have stayed in so far but we will survive it for those five days. Breakfast is okay but a little bit too early. Sanitaires are not hygienic!

Not much more to say to that day.

Again cloudy weather. Breakfast was okay but we bought some stuff afterwards at the grocery store; snacks and drinks.

This day was really busy. At first we went to the Cemetière Montparnasse, there we saw a couple huge graves. But this cemetry was huge so we didn't see everything. Then we went to the Notre Dame which was really cool. We went into the church and then on the very top of the southtower....it was for free this day. Normally it costs 5,50 Euro!!!! The only negative thing of it was that you had to walk up nearly 400 stairs....we have huge muscles now *lol* The view was not soo good as it was very cloudy and a little bit foggy.



After Notre Dame we got some lunch and went to the Sacre Coeur then. More stairs to get up....aaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! But we survived are still alive, but not our feet. ha ha ha

This church is awesome! You have to go there! The view over Paris and the district Montmatre is awestruck!! At last event of the day we went to the Cemetière du Monmatre. But the closed 15 minutes after we had gotten there. Lucky us we found Heinrich Heines grave in 15 minutes.

Very exhausted we got back to our hostel and made some dinner. As the weather turned better during the afternoon we decided to go to the Eiffeltower. We got there after eight o clock and had to wait in line over an hour to get up there.
The view and the tower were great but the elevators sucked!!!!!! Because as we wanted to go down around 11 o clock the one elevator we were standing in queu for didn't really work and noone told us till everyone else, except the people in our queu, had gone down with the other elevator. Very nice!!!!! We were soooo pissed after that!!!! The more, it was freezing up there and we really had to go to the bathroom....1 hour wait....survive that....we did! Lucky us we made it back in time for the curfew our hostel has (2 am). Exhausted we got back and fell right away asleep as we layed down in our beds.
