still 29 may 2011...here on the blog

let's continue walking around paris on day 1. yup, walking is the activity of the day.

we reached the place de la concorde where the obelisk from the luxor temple in egypt is located. the obelisk is located between two fountains in the middle of a roundabout.
the obelisk with hieroglyphics carved on it.

look straight down the street from the obelisk, you have the arche de triomphe on avenue champ elysees. this photo was taken during sunset......and guess what is the time for sunset?? if my memory serves me right, it should be after 8p.m. when this was taken.
i have only seen night yesterday when i came out of moulin rouge's theatre and that was at 11p.m. the other days, i had retired at the hotel before the sun even set.

now to some makan....this was dinner on the first day. we passed a bistro cum restaurant called la source on the way to pont d' alexandre 3 and saw the food served to the customers eating at the sidewalk tempting, hence we decided to stop.
however, the food was kinda disappointing. it was just plain ;( i guess the rich indian lunch earlier still lingered in our mind and we still could not forget how good it tasted.
roast chicken
salad
hard bread
dessert: chocolate mousse, cream cheese, caramel custard and fruit salad.
but the beer was good, this beer.

ok...the time now is 7.10a.m. in paris, i am going to go and get a kettle to boil some water to have my breakfast of instant noodle. gonna take the train later to versailles. the weather is only 12C outside. the maximum will be 18C and the mininum 8C ;(
it is going to be wet as well. so i am gonna get all prepared for the weather with my malaysian umbrella ;)

till then.
