paris

friday the 27th i took a bus down to paris. 7.5 hours they said.. with a 2 hour delay not only your ass dies off but also your organs stop functioning. i arrived around 21.00 and met up with my french creative partner mathieu who took me to his family who were having dinner at a petit restaurant that had bread toasters hanging on the side of the tables! had lovely french cheeses and a big eclaire and my first ever bite of an île flottante.

the reason for going to paris was that mathieu's sister, nynye, turned 30. she threw the best party everest! on a boat on the seine, right next to the notre dame! theme of the party was fluo pop chic. so the next day, after meeting up with malin, tobias and morten, we went shopping for clothes and i managed to put together an outfit. i, who always wear just shirts, jeans and sneakers, actually bought high yellow heels and wore that together with fluo purple lycra leggings. i felt like a cheap hooker, walking on the square of the notre dame, with people turning their heads to look at me and malin. but we were the light of the party.

sunday we went to see morten's hood. morten is a norwegian crew10 buddy of malin and tobias, who lives and works in paris. he took us to the prettiest park i have ever seen in my life, parc buttes chaumont. a park with lovely slopes and in the distance you can see the sacre coeur. tip: metro stop botzaris.

at the end of the day the sky broke and it started pouring. malin left for amsterdam and i went to montmartre with tobias and morten. we had dinner in a tiny cute italian restaurant called piccola strada. excellent food, great wine, hot waitress and nice to the wallet. tip: 6 rue yvonne-le-tac, district: 18ème - pigalle - montmartre, metro: abbesses.

went back to amsterdam monday afternoon without a delay and arrived 23.30 in amsterdam queen's day mayhem. what a mess!

some more documentation of the weekend to be seen here and here!
à bientôt mes amis! bisous!
