Weekend in Paris





Proposal




Ligikaudu 50 pluss km kõndimist, sihtkohta jõudsime kell kuus hommikul. Pagas hotelli paigutatud, sai linna avastama asutud. Peaks mainima,et tunne oli eriliselt kummaline, hommikusöök Eiffeli juures ja terve linn vaikuses. Endal väga rahulolev muie näol. 
Tegemist on järjekordse kauni linnaga, liiga palju detaile ja ilu mida kõike ei suutnudki kaameraga jäädvustada.

Maitsev  kolmekäiguline lõunasöök vaid 10 euro eest, millega ma väga rahule jäin, soovitan Teile soojalt Rue Mouffetord tänaval asuvat " Le Vieux Bistrot" , sobilik just neile kes oma raha loevad.

Ainuke äpradus oli veiniga. Olin enda arvates teadja ja rääkisin uhke tooniga Nolanile " Roosa vein on alati kõige lollikindlam, sest ta ei ole väga hapu ega ka liiga magus). Tegemist oli väga hapu ja kuiva veiniga, mis hiljem isegi hea tahtmise juures alla ei läinud, kahjuks ei mõistnud võtta juustu, mis on hea abiline iga viletsa veini maitse peitmises.

Päevaga jätsime hüvasti samas kohas kus see alguse sai, Eiffel, mis pakkus meile mitmeks minutiks uhket valgusemängu, sealhulgas  rahva heakskiitvaid hõiskeid saades. Võin kindlal toonil öelda,et tegemist oli tõeliselt idüllilise linnaga.

PS! Ma ei saa mainimata jätta, hommikul kurnatud olekus metroo poole asudes sain kiire äratuse, nimelt minu ees seisis Tuc Watkins( Desperate Housewifes as Bob Hunter) isiklikult (uskumatu mis tunde tekitab kuulsa inimese nägemine oma silmaga), omaette vaatepilt oli see, kuidas ma üritasin "salaja" niisama käes oides temast pilte teha. Elevust jagus  mitmeks tunniks.




Romance capital Paris.
16 hours by bus, led by a nervous Moroccoan  busdriver, he remebemers me of my former  practical work instructor who always picked on me and Annika , like " what bullshit is this??""

About 50 km (31 miles) walking, we arrived at the destination six o`clock in the morning, we left our luggage at the hotel and moved on. It was quite a weird feeling, eating breakfast next to Eiffel Tower, the whole city was quiet, a mystical feeling what made me smile.
Paris is antoher beautiful city, there were too many details and so much beauty what I could not capture with the camera.

Fortunately it was a beautiful weather.

A tastefull 3 course lunch in Rue Mouffetard street " Le Vieux Bistrot" only for 10 euros, that was a pleasant suprise! I strongly recommend his place, especially when you are reading money like I was doing.


The only fail was with the wine, I told Nolan with a firm tone " Rose wine is always  a solid choice, because it`s not that sweet and not so dry."
It was an awfull wine, even when I wanted, at the end it was so hard to swallow, unfortunately I forgot to buy the cheese what usually hides all the bad taste of wine.

We said goodbye to the day at the same place we started, The eiffel tower of course, what made a beautiful 5 mintue lightning show that made all the crowd shout in approval. Paris at night is a real idyll.

PS! It made my day when I saw Tuc Watkins ( Desperate Housewifes) at the metro station, yes I tried to picture him but without much succsess , it looked stupid how I tried to capture him.
Big thanks Nolan, without you I would have been straying around the city all day long :))






























Trying to capture Tuc


Look left---- like Mister Bean




3 course lunch for only 10 euros
Onion soup, steak with red wine sauce and choclat mousse.



Utrecht, week 2






Beautiful weather. As always, lots of excursions. ( Rembranthuis in Amsterdam, Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, Centraal Museum and Museum Catherijeneconvent in Utrecht, Porseleyen Fles in Delft)
As You know, I`m a food lover. It won`t be a surprise from me posting pictures of food. 

Finally, farewell and Group dinner  and I`m still disappointed that we had to pay for these pancakes by ourselves what was a big surprise most of us and ended up that we started to gather money to pay.

I will miss you guys.
