Last day

On our way to the airport, one last photo @ home before we leave.

Riverside

By the river
The riverside
this is one of the oldest bridges in paris, see how the floor is wooden, yeah, it is really old.
Model of the year..lols
cute graffiti, this little smiley face is on every single lamp on this bridge
This little island holds the most expensice houses in paris, coincidentally it is also the dirtiest place in paris

Cycling home on our 1 euro a day bicycles


After you are done..just look for another station, which is pretty easy since they are everywhere and slot it back into an open slot.

Inside Louis Vuitton

This is the wall on your right when you go up the escalator to the 2nd floor


A little further up you will see this pattern on the same wall

I'm sure this is not the most expensive item in the store but this little baby here costs 10,000 euros..

This decor here is actually made of a room in a half dome shape, the flat side is a fully mirrored wall which goes all the way to the ceiling from which hands all this dangling crystals, The mirrored wall reflects it so that it looks like one full circle.

This is the staircase from the 3rd floor back down to the first floor

Night Paris Again!

Montmartre on French National Day

On the French National Day, we were supposed to go down to Monmartre to see the fireworks but suffice to say, we went there too late, the place was too crowded and we only got to see 2 little blooms far far away. You see those little things outlined in shadow against the beautiful white church? Yes those are people..

Yes and we also got semi-cheated when we were standing around on the foot of the hill wondering what to do next. We paid 10 euros for 4 of these bands..suckers
