day 3, again paris

hello! have had a cracking day in paris, doing nothing in particular. awaking from my pokey hotel which i actually came to like, went off to a bakery and got a massive pain au chocolat, amazing. then checked out and made my way to my new hostel, which somehow a 3 bed dorm is smaller then the hotel room i stayed in last night, i havent met my roommates yet shall see what they are like. i tried sorting out where i wanted to go next, couldnt decide between bern or basel, and using seat 61 website the tickets were more expensive then i thought they would be. so i packed it in and went for a wander round paris, down a canal and up the other side, was lovely. had a sit down and a pepsi in the shade watching some sort of public event whcih was cool, singing, ppl on stilts. i thought i'd check out the train station, the gare du 'lest and just thought i'd check what the ticket prices are, which were  ahellava lot cheaper, so i've got my train to basel on monday, leaving at midday, and have 2 nights booked in a basel hostel, from there i will go onto bern or lautterbrunnen. onmy way back i walked past a subway and got meself a massive and amazing baguette, with a brownie, and sat down on part of a different canal to eat. not sure what i'm going to do tonight, want to see eiffel tower all lit up, am yet to see the arc, so may go to them. also yday i went to the sacre couer, cheers G for pointing that out. am really enjoying meself, it's a completly different experience to what i've done, and paris is growing on me.
