Parisian Sunsets

I left Lille late in the afternoon so it was going to but 50/50 if I could make it to Paris in time or not . As long as you can get on the A1 it is a easy ride to Paris but with the Flea Market there was allot more traffic and the motorway on ramp suggested by hitch wiki wasn't ideal. There wasn't much room and traffic was travelling allot faster than I expected . After 30 minutes my Paris sign wasn't getting much love so I readjusted my sights and my sign for the nearest petrol station and sure enough 10 minutes late I was on my way with still a hour or so of daylight .

At the gas station I met a travel traveler who had just come back from Amrina and wanted to surprise his girlfriend by making it to Paris that night . We exchanged story’s and even though he was there first he let me have first crack in the fading light and before I could even get my sign out 3 girls in a tiny Smart car offered me a ride. One of the girls spoke perfect English and the others could understand but not speak it but it made for one of the best rides I had so far . 

They were going to Paris to party for a couple of days before flying out to a party Island off the coast of Spain which name escapes me at the moment . We talked about travel and talked music and travel then we had a quick tour de Paris at night going down the Chan de lise had a quick glimpse of the Lurve, Arc de Triumph,Effil Tower and then they dropped me off at the metro . I was the first hitch hiker that they had picked up and they were byfar the youngest people who had picked me up at this point and so before they drove off we took photos and shook hands and went our separate ways

The Paris metro system is fairly easy to use and it was easy to get to my hosts place but finding her apartment in a ocean of highrise apartments wasn't so easy , it was lucky that this was one of the rare occasions where I had credit on my cell phone . When I eventually found my host she was very accommodating and we stayed up all night drinking tea and listening to some very cool French music

I don't really see the point of describing Paris as everyone has their own opinion on it and France as a whole (Rainbow Warrior much ?). I had low expectations of Paris but having lived in England for the last year it would have been a shame not to at least take a peek .I really enjoyed my short stay there but instead of rambling on as usual I will just let the photos do the talking tell the tell that was Paris
