I thought I won't be able to sleep in Sleeper train, but it turns out ok. I had 6hrs sleep.
We arrived in Paris at 7:30am.
First thing first is to find kiosk for day pass transportation, which is on the basement of the station. I chose Zone 1-3 Paris Visite for 2days, for 18,95euro.
Once I had my pass, I followed the directions in the Plug inn hostel site.
But of course, I ride the wrong train..ahaha.
When I finally arrived at the Abbesses station..unexpected happened. The lift was not working, ok then I will just take the stairs. But then, while walking upstairs, I heard someone that its like 100 something steps..woah woah wait, should I stop, cause I'm already out of breath, and my backpack is really killing me.
When I finally see the light, OMG, literally, I can't breath, it's like I'm having a heart attack or whatsoever..and then I saw the lift is working already...what the!!!! :P
Now I just need to walk to Plug inn hostel, it's not that far from the station.
Since (again), I arived early in Plug inn, I left my luggage and some stuff in their storage room. So I can start my tour :D
I don't know where to go first, so I decided to visit the Shakespeare bookstore.
There's a limit of people who wants to go inside. And picture taking is not allowed.
After looking around, I bought a notebook for my closest friend as a gift, and at the counter, they will ask you if you want their stamp, of course I do :D
I noticed a cathedral, and I wonder, what is that place,it seems there's a lot of people going in there.
When I found the sign, I can't believe that it is already the Notre Dame cathedral, hehe.
And of course, I found the point zero! :D
I'm getting hungry, but I still don't know what to eat, haha
But I'm craving for some bread (again).
After that, I went to Pont Alexandre III, its a bit of walk to go there, and the weather is not so good (at least it's not raining).
Ooooppss, it started to shower :(
So the photos of Champs-Élysées is not so good because of the fog and raindrops. For those who love shopping, this place would be perfect :D
And of course, I won't let the day ends without seeing The Louvre and the Eiffel tower. Just for the night shots :D
For the Eiffel tower, it takes me 12mins of walking from, hmm..I forgot the station's name..haha
I'm really starving.
Along the way, you will find a lot of restaurants. Happy stomach :D
Since Moulin Rouge is just a walking distance from my hostel, I take advantage of it to have a night shot.
Now I'm really tired and sleepy, so I went back to hostel to check in and rest :)
