14 January 2001 - Paris - France
Christelle Sacre Coeur

I was so tired on this morning, but I had to get up anyways, leaving the hotel to go visit a few last things in Paris and then back to Holland. So we got up, packed, had breakfast, and left to go to Montmartre. We got there and first I went to get a few souvenirs of Paris for my family. Then we took the funiculaire, some kind of elevator, to go up the hill to the Sacre-Coeur church (Picture 1). It was very nice. Inside there was a service but I didn't notice right away so we were just walking everywhere. We left the church and someone offered to take a pic of us, so why not (Picture 2).

Afterwards, we went to walk inside the little non-touristic streets of Paris to try and find a bakery to buy goods. We did and my friend finally had his croissant and pain au chocolat! Then we stopped at a typical little market and I got oranges for the trip back on the bus. We still had time to kill so we walked back towards where the bus would be, through the erotic neighbourhood. It was quite shocking to see how they are open about it, they had big posters of girls in compromising positions for the movie theathers, which is something you'd never see in Canada, and they also had a "Sexodrome"!

We stopped at a cafe and took hot chocolate, talked, enjoyed our last moments in Paris. I tried to learn how my friend's camera works, for portraits and stuff, so I was fooling around, and took one pic which turned out to be foolish (Picture 3) and one totally beautiful one, my friend looks like a babe on it, I love him (Picture 4).

Then it was back on the bus to go to Holland, this time in Belgium we got off and had a meal at the restaurant, I had pancakes and my friend a steak, it was good. The ride back was alright, except from Eindhoven to Utrecht where I was extremely tired, and my friend also, and kids in the bus were very loud. I wanted silence and peace but they were annoying me. I was really happy when we got out of there and on the train to Hilversum. Thanks my friend for that great time in Paris!
