Day 34 - Art and alcohol.

So today, I got up really early... again... and Amelia, Jordana and myself planned to go to Notre Dame.

However, I woke up with bed bug bites all over my legs.... Ok let me explain. I KNOW I didn't bring them to this hostel, because I was at my last hostel for 5 nights, and if THEY had bed bugs, I'm very confidant I would have had at LEAST one bite while I was there, and I didn't. And this was my second night here, and all of a sudden woken up with like 15 bites all over my legs. So, that's my defense. It wasn't my fault. I did tell the hostel (super embarrassing. Even though it wasn't my fault, I've felt like a disease all day) and they took it pretty serious, they bombed the whole room for like 4 hours. So that was good. And I didn't have any more bites on me this morning. Shit thing is I have to wash a WHOLE bunch of clothes, but that probably needed to be done anyway lol.

So after all of that, we did go to Notre Dame. It was really cool becaused it was Sunday morning and there was an actual mass on, but you could still walk through it. There were singers and an organ, and the acoustics in there were really amazing.

After that (which didn't take toooooo long) we headed off to The Louvre. We entered through the secret entrance, and didn't have to wait behind a single person.

Then we started the journey. We didn't have a tour guide or anything, so we basically just guessed what paintings were about. Pretty sure I found a 17th century depiction of the movie 'The Hangover' and Amelia found and ancient Egyptian bottle opener and shot glass LOL.

Quite obviously not being art buffs, the three of us only ended up being there for like 2 and a half hours, which is a VERY short amount of time to be there, we LITERALLY walked through every room, we didn't really stop and look at anything. I called it at the like 2 hour point and everyone agreed they were bored, so we left, which took us another half hour lol.

After this, we went and got lunch, I had French onion soup. Not as good as I had hoped... but oh well. Then we got crepes :)

After all of this we went back to the hostel, and cruised around for a bit.

Myself and another guy from my room went to get drinks, we bought some cheap red wine and coke, and had some Spanish Kalimotxos LOL. We all got drunk and played card and drinking games for ages until some people in our room came back and went to sleep. One of the guys in my room, an English guy, got super drunk off us for free, then got super aggressive when he couldn't win a game, then spilled a drink ALL over me downstairs in the bar, THEN just got up this morning and drank straight from MY bottle of coke...? I shouldn't generalise but..... fucking pomms LOL.

All in all a good day, made lots of cool friends.

Things that made me happy today; Alternative reviews of the art at the Louvre.

Things that made me sad today; Realising how long its been since I spoke to anyone from home :(
