DAY 3 PARIS

We woke up at around 9am and started our 2nd day visit in Paris. Vincent didn't go out with us today coz he had to meet his parents so we went out by ourself. We took the metro to Notre de Dame then had a lunch at a Greek Restaurant.

We didn't know what to eat and we just wanted to find a cheap and nice restaurant. Somehow we went into that Greek Restaurant and the set lunch menu was 10Euro! So crazy!! I knew it would be expensive in tourist area but we didn't have many choices.

But then when we got in, we couldn't find the 10Euro menu, there were only 15Euro lunch sets. I ordered salad, oysters, steak and dessert. The salad was quite good but the oysters were too salty!! How come? I thought the oysters in France would be very tasty and fresh!! But there weren't!! The French oysters in Hong Kong were more delicious!! The steak was ok but I didn't really like the blue cheese sauce. It was too strong for me. And the dessert crême blûee was quite good. Finally including the tax, it costed total 40Euro for 2 people!! What an expensive lunch!!


After lunch, we went to visit Notre de Dame, we took a lot of pics and we tried to get in! Many people were queuing outside coz there was no entry fees!! Of course we went inside as well!!




It was quite big inside and there were a lot of statues and candles. People were praying inside quietly. Luckily it is allowed to be photo taken inside.

Then we walked along the Le Seine to Pont Alexandre. It was pretty long way and we walked slowly and stopped for taking pics. It took us nearly 2 hours from Notre de Dame to Pont Alexandre. We were so tired!! Unfortunately Le Seine was very stingy and it wasn't so fun to walk along it.


But the view was beautiful along Le Seine, we took a lot of funny pics on the bridge!! Silly but fun!! :D






Then in the evening, we went to Le Louvre again coz we wanted to take the night pics of it. I didn't bring tripod for this trip coz it is very heavy. I was a bit regret coz it was so hard to take night pics without tripod!!

We went back to Vincent's home at around 9pm and then we chatted for a while and sleep. After a long walking day, I just wanted to sleep and rest!!
