Paris II

I never thought that I suffered from jet lag before, however I think I am still in the process of sorting it out now, three days into my trip. Unbeknownst to me, the two weeks of only getting 6hrs a sleep a night has altered my body clock so that I currently wake up naturally after around 7hrs. For the first night, I became dead tired at 5pm meaning that I then woke up at 12am. Second night, I slept at 7pm and woke at 2am and last night (at the time of writing this post) I went to bed at 10pm and woke up at 4am. When I wake up, I feel completely refreshed albeit a little sore from the walking done on the previous day.

29th November
It was stated to be a relatively clear day so we decided to head up over to the Sacré Cœur. Last time I went, Sunbear and I parted with 5 Euros due to the African men and their string bracelets. This time I was a little more vigilant and walked super fast past them, although to be fair they were also occupied with their tourists already. This one guy was surrounded by 4 men, the poor guy. The view from the top was amazing although visibility was a little affected by the fog.

It was a Saturday so the area in Printemps and Galeries Lafayette was jam packed with people. A crazily amount of people. I hate crowds and I don't understand how anyone can shop in such conditions.

The day ended at Jardin des Luxembourg. French children are dressed so nicely and are so so adorable.

I ordered soup of the day, although I had no idea what it was (and no one actually told me). Nonetheless, it was delicious.
