paris
I planned to do one blog post per city, but how is one supposed to condense one week in an incredible city into one blog post? impossible. so I’m separating them; the sights and the food. but when I say “the food”, I’m really only talking about my incredible experience at le chateaubriand – no. 18 in the worlds best restaurants. and maybe a few other memorable experiences, like le garde robe.
paris was beautiful, even more beautiful than when I was there in january. I’d have to say its probably because it was warm, sunny and happy. everyone’s happier when it’s warm (must be why aussies are such top blokes). I did so much exploring and I guess that’s the beauty of travelling alone… doing what you want, when you want, how you want.
I also walked the shit out of paris. I conquered it by foot. and thats probably putting it likely. but when my feet started falling apart, I conquered le metro as well.
on the plane from melbourne to paris, via kuala lumpur, I wrote a to do list. something I don’t usually do when I go overseas but when I was there in january, it was so rushed and quick, I felt like I didn’t see even a smidge of what I hoped to. this time, however would be different.
the list:
– la tour eiffel, again
– montmartre & pigalle
– versailles
– jardin des tuileries
– sacre coeur
– notre dame
– cafe de flore
– kb cafe
– coutume cafe
– le chateaubriand
– le garde robe
– passenger gig @ le trabendo
relatively simple. not extensive, particularly for 6 full days. and considering out of 12 things, 5 were food related, I could definitely get this shit done.
