We got up at about 7, quickly got ready and headed out to look for a new hotel. We found a McDonalds, got some breakfast, and used the Wifi to search for places. The 2 people from the other room, found a place with one room available and just took off to go book it. This made Nasha and I mad because 1. They were the ones that reserved that dump and 2. the night before they were complaining about how we were splitting everything equally and they made us pay for part of their room because a 2 bedroom was more expensive than a 3 bedroom! After failing to find a place online, we took off to just walk around to hotels until we found one. I don’t know how many places we asked, but they were all full. We finally found a place that had 1-3 person room available for just that night. It was only 5 Euros more than where we were staying. Diana found a more expensive one, that was only available for the following 2 nights. We were able to look at the first room and it was amazing compared to the place we were in! We walked in while she was finishing up cleaning and it smelled amazing! The bathroom was so clean! The beds were clean and nicely made and there was even a tv in the room! We took the room and headed back to the our other hotel to gather our things and check out.
We arrived to a new crazy French lady that was yelling at us about having more than 3 people in a room. We had no clue what she was talking about! We were like we are only 3 people; there is no one else in our room. She was like NO, we have security cameras and someone showed up at 2am asking for your name! By the way, she barely spoke English. She kept calling Nasha, Pinar (which is who made the reservation) and Nasha was yelling back that she is not Pinar, that Pinar wasn’t there, that they left us and we thought they had already checked out. Then we were just trying to get checked out. She was talking to us about paying and stuff and we were like no, we aren’t staying here one more night this place is disgusting. And she started yelling at us in French and then Nasha…(who btw is Columbian, not to be stereotyping, but she is the one that said she has that type of temper…incase you are reading this! lol)…started yelling at her in Spanish and then the receptionist was saying something about calling the cops and so we had Nasha leave the reception area while we were trying to figure it out and then Pinar shows up. So we finally get everything worked out, we ended up having to pay for a second night there because we were cancelling within 24 hours, but we couldn’t have cancelled the day before because we had to make sure we had another place to stay! Anyway, we got out of the dump and into our new hotel! It was definitely a God thing that we found that place! He was watching over us the entire weekend!
After settling in to our new place, we jumped on the bus to go see the Eiffel Tower! We wanted to do that the first night, but after that whole mess and it was kind of late we didn’t get to. On the bus, I had my camera ready to capture Nasha’s face when she first saw the Eiffel Tower; Paris has always been her dream! We got there and she was in shock for at least 15 minutes…it was a great experience that made a whole day a lot better! After doing every possible pose we could think of in front of the tower, we bought some souvenirs and then headed to Champs-Elysees. This is the major shopping street in Paris!
Nasha was looking for some Cologne and Perfume for her parents and I was just looking for any bargains of some sort. We stepped into this French perfume store and they had a tester strip they handed to us when we walked in and I fell in love with the scent! It was amazing…so I asked how much a bottle was and then wished I hadn’t! It was 96 Euros for a bottle a little over 2 ounces! That is when I wished I was rich so I could get it. We left and I could not stop thinking about that perfume, until we came to a clothing store and I found a coat I absolutely fell in love with! It was one of those tight fitted ones and it like flared out at the bottom…and the best part…it was zebra print! I tried it on several different times, trying to find the perfect size. I totally wanted to buy it, but it was 69 Euros and I just couldn’t talk myself into it! We decided that we would probably come back to the street, so I would think about it and then decide. We found a little grocery store and got some water and soda to have at the hotel.
After shopping, we headed back to the hotel and then tried to find a place close to the hotel for dinner. We found a little pizzeria on the corner. All I wanted was a crepe with vegetables in it and they couldn’t do it for me. Then the guy was asking if I was a vegetarian and I was like no I want meat and vegetables. I finally just decided to get a stupid pizza so that I could have all the meat and veggies I wanted! It turned out pretty good, but wasn’t the crepe I had been craving. After dinner we headed back to the hotel to take showers and get rested up. We were extremely tired after the mess the night before and that morning!
