Flawless Transportation
From our apartment in Barcelona, Bryan and I walked down the Ramblas one final time and picked up Ryan from his apartment. We hopped on the metro, which took us to the bus station. We purchased a bus ticket to the airport, got on the bus within 5 minutes, drove an hour to the airport, got on our flight, arrived early to Paris, hopped on a bus to the city, arrived at the city early, jumped on the metro, and 25 minutes later, arrived at our hostel! I still cannot comprehend how flawless our transportation worked. I kept referring this day as our “Hell Day” because I had a feeling that at least one thing would go wrong, but nothing did! We even befriended a local Paris youth on the metro who gave us advice on which metro line to take and informed us about a huge festival occurring on Saturday night.
OOPS!
When Ryan and I booked our hostels in February, we decided that the hostel entitled “Oops” would be the most convenient, affordable, and safe. We had been joking to everyone on our trip about how we would soon be staying at a hostel entitled, “Oops.” To our surprise, I would only be saying “oops” if we had NOT booked three nights here. This place is great! This place feels brand new. It is very clean and very trendy. According to Oops literature, it has been rated one of the top 10 hostels in the world. We walk in and there is a neon front desk, American music blaring from a sound system, and a gang of English-speaking youths in the background. I thought we accidentally entered a nightclub!
Our room has four beds and a view of the Eiffel Tower, which looks awesome at night. Our fourth roommate is from Singapore, and her name is Bauntwa (sp?). I call her “Bun” for short. She is in Paris for the weekend, she is a very organized traveler, and she is very friendly. Upon settling into our room, we instantly fell asleep, exhausted from a full day of traveling.
Expect a detailed account from 20.06.08 (yesterday) soon. Right now, I need to turn off the computer and prepare myself for another exciting day in Paris.
Au revoir!
