Nach mehreren Bier mit ein paar Franzosen, einer Schnapsidee und einem unerfreulichen Gespräch mit einem Palästinenser sitze ich jetzt angepisst zu Hause und eröffne diesen Blog - undskyld dafür!

Montmarte & Montclair

[25.8.-27.8. Paris] My phone was still not working and i didn´t know where to sleep in Paris, because Manue was in Toulon, Cat in Barcelona, Charlie left to Poitiers that day and i had no phone numbers of Lauriane or Emilie. So i was quite lost when i arrived in Paris-Montparnasse... I bought a payphone-card (damn expensive these cards) and called Aleksis who luckily had the number of Emilie. But Emilie was stressed out because of her new job and the fact, that she had to move to her new flat exactly this weekend. So i went to Montmartre as Aleksis had told me and did sightseeing until 5 p.m. when i was supposed to call Emilie again - but she told me it´s gonna be difficult for that day to find a place to sleep. No problem - but now i was in a big hurry to find a place to sleep, it was already 5.30 p.m. and i had no idea where to find a hostel. I checked two out but no beds were free, but the guy at the reception called another hostel and told me, that there is one bed free - the last one. It was called Hotel Montclair, but it was definitely a hostel; but a hostel where you almost don´t meet someone inside, no real common room, no people around. So i went by my own to Montmarte Cathedral that evening - which was quite nice, cause lots of people were around,also some street-musicians and artists.
Next day i went to the center, to the place i always go when i am in Paris, the Centre Pompidou (Museum of Modern Art), it´s like Brandt´s Klædefabrik, just a bit bigger. Later on i went to Notre Dame to take the guided tour through Paris (ja, real tourist, non?;-).
