Day 12: Paris Revisited

From Lille we got on a train to Paris. On the train the conducter told us we had to pay a supplement because it was a TGV, so basiocally we spent a night in a Ghent train station for nothing. Oh well, we lied a little and said we didnt have enough money, and he let us off paying half only.

We got to Paris, mid-morning, and spent the rest of the morning trying to fit our kits into a locker at the station. heh it was quite a feat but we manage to squeeze them in, after breaking one of the clips of my bag which i (Debono) replaced with a bungee cord i was conveniently carrying around .

We then headed out to Paris, smelly as can be, to check out the stuff we missed the first time around. first we headed to Musee d'Orsay, which was closed coz it closes on Mondays apparently. Then we went to Notre Dame.
What can one say about Notre Dame? Its very beautiful cathedral, kick's Sacre Couers ass, that's for sure. There was an orchestra practicing inside, which was really cool and added to the beauty of the place.

Then we headed to the Picasso Museum, which houses the largest collection of original Picasso's, including his early, more conventional works, many of his sketches and plans for larger works, and many of his masterpieces. There was definately too much to see.

We caught a train in the Evening to Milano... yet another long journey.
