Paris

 I went to Paris this weekend. It was sort of like a small vacation, easter holidays, if you may. Packed my bags on thursday and went to Helsinki later that evening just to wake up at 4am, to make a trip to Helsinki-Vantaa airport. It was kinda nice to see Helsinki so empty in the night/morning. The flight was going to be via München. everything was going great, untill we found out that out flight was late, and we would probably miss our flight fom München to Paris. Well, we did make it to our plane destinated to Paris, but out luggage didn't. They told us in charles de gaulle, that they'd get the luggage in the evening fron Germany and send it to our hotel, so we hoped that nothing else would happen.
It was nice to see Paris once again, since last time I visited the city, I was about 10 years old.. I think.
I had forgotten how small the streets were, you have to squeeze to get past people. Thankfuly our hotel was pretty much in the center so we could just walk everywhere.. Well almost. But because I personally love subways and undergrounds, I insisted that we'd buy the public transport tickets and travel at least once using the subway.



 We [ofcourse] had to see all the sightseeings there, Louvre, Sacré-Cœur, La Tour Eiffel, Musée d'Orsay, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame de Paris.. ect. It was awesome, even tho we had to wait for like 57minutes in line for Musée d'Orsay. but it was it was worth it. 


The "Franklin D. Roosevelt"- station was gorgeous. I think it was one of the newest metropolitain stations, because it had this interesting, design touch. From there we made our way to la Defence, the new part of Paris. I must say it's something I have never seen before. I liked all the sculptural buildings and open spaces.
Thankfully the rest of the trip went without complications, I must say, my triceps muscles were really sore after the vacation, but it was totally worth it. So much inspiration, that my brain can't handle it all at once x]
