The next day the sun was shining and it was really warm! We wanted to go see the city and have a picnic by the Eiffel Tower. We started our day by finding our way to Louvre where there were lots of tourists! We didn't want to pay to get into the museum. It looked just fine from the outside. After that we started walking over an hour to find the famous Champs Elysees which we didn't find until we figured it out that we had been walking it for an hour or so.. :D It was so huge that it took us a while to find a supermarket to buy something to eat for the picnic.
Finally we found a supermarket and bought: Apples, French bread, soda, cookies and other good stuff. :) It was at least 30 degrees and we didn't have sunlotion with us when we were sitting by the Eiffel tower, it didn't took long before my back was sunburned.. :D The feeling of just sitting there, no hurry to go anywhere and just enjoy the sun, was amazing! :)
A funny thing happened to us when this french pizza man walked by us and just maybe a minute before he passed us Saija had told me that she really would want a foot massage.. So this guy Yones walks passed us, stops and turns around and says: "Do you girls wanna a foot massage?" Of course Saija said yes! He told us that he loves feet and wants to stop and talk to beautiful women.. After he was done with Saija's legs he turned to me and immediately I told him no, I don't wanna a foot massage. I ended up having a back massage. We had quite an interesting chat with him about smoking and drinking and other stuff. Yones: "You don't smoke pot?! What?! You don't even smoke? What the fuck are you doing with your lives? "

After the massages, picnic and getting lost we headed to home, got showers and started our way towards GuiGui's friend who lived on the other side of Paris! We were supposed to watch a football game and start drinking before going to some bar. It took us 1,5 hours to get there and we didn't get lost at all! :) At first it was a bit awkward since not so many people spoke english but we ended up having fun! The bar was interesting.. It was sooo full of people you could barely move there, it took a long time to get something to drink and the drinks were so small you could drink it at once. We weren't allowed to take any bags inside not even small bags! The toilets were only a whole on the floor.. There was this beach party theme going on so I ended up having a swimming ring around me and a beach ball with me when we left from the bar. We shared a taxi to GuiGui's friend (Aymeric) where we spent the night. The next morning we woke up late and it took us (me, saija and GuiGui) almost three hours to get back to GuiGui's home. On the way home we stopped at a chinese restaurant to get something to eat. :) We were supposed to only get changed and head out in 90 minutes to go to this party with GuiGui and his friends, well it took us a bit more than that and we ended up going by ourselves to the Eiffel Tower and agreed on catch up with Gui later. :)
We wanted to see Eiffel when its lights were on and Yones had told us that there was this free concert that later on should turn into an open disco. Eiffel tower was just amazing and the concert turned out to be a classical opera.. Back at Bourg-la-Reine we were picked up by a car near GuiGui's place and headed towards this tennis club (upstairs was someones birthday party or something). Before going in we were told that there was around 70 people and they were all expecting to see the finnish girls.. Party, music and all were good and we had a great time! People came to talk mostly to blond Saija but people were more shy than we expected them to be. We walked home from the party (Aymeric, me, Saija and GuiGui). The next morning we packed our bags yet again and spent the morning with the boys. GuiGui helped us by calling our next destination to book our hostel but it could only be done online so he draw us a great map to help us find the place! :D Then it was time to say goodbye to our new friends! :(
