Keeps me settled.
The past few days have been busy busy busy - we got a 4 day museum pass giving us access to so many different exhibits and museums. Explored Musée D'Orsay, The Pompidou Centre and today The Versailles.
I think I actually loved Musée D'Orsay more than The Louvre… a lot easier to navigate through and had an incredible Van Gogh exhibit with so many incredible pieces. Ironically, I loved its even more because you can't take pictures or use your mobile phones at all during the whole museum. Maybe surprising seeing as I take pictures everywhere I go and love it… but when you're forced to put your camera and belongings in a cloak room and you explore a whole art gallery without those things you definitely immerse yourself more and it's kind of nice to walk around without a bag and shut up the voice of "that'd make a nice picture!".
We did another (my 3rd… oops) bike tour with Fat Tire Bikes (Highly recommend - seriously just so good) but the night ride which included a river cruise and seeing all the big sites at night. 4.5 hours, 13km's and red wine at the end. Amaze.
Today we went to The Versailles gardens which is just a whole other world. I can't believe the whole thing is behind closed gates… it feels like a suburb. We rented a golf cart (the gardens are that big) and had lunch by the canal, I fell asleep on the grass, we ate ice cream and then saw a girl fall in the water. Classic.
I literally didn't plan on writing much at all… I have no idea what just happened.
Anyway, pictures…!
