Paris and Amsterdam ... Just a few memories
I made this trips some years ago... So I really just can remember same small points with you. In the moment I get lights in my memories about this ones. I will add it here. :D
Paris
Eiffel Tower
One of the Paris' must to see! Obviously... :)
It is impressive imagine that 300 workers were responsible for the 2, 5 million of pieces needed do build it. Have 300 m and three floors.
The restaurant in the 2nd floor is amazing and from there you can see the beautiful view to "champ-de-Mars" and in the another side of the river, the Sena, the Trocadero.
The Louvre
Sorrounding by The France Kings palace. Just the outside of Louvre is amazing. Well... inside, just one of the most important museums in the world. Yes I saw The Mona Lisa (La Gioconda or La Joconde, or Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo) two metros far from my eyes.
And well... like I was smaller I am now, I could cross the tipical line and go even closer that everyone. The security was amazing. Eheh... I love to share this my small story inside Louvre :P
Paris' Shops
It was really nice and amazing to see that some of the stores have keeped the old style.
Notre-Dame
The facade is incredible and all of the atmosphere around is really a must to see.
The gotic style turn it even more special.
Here... I spent like one hour just playing with some birds over there. The all places and area around are so nice! Being so, so close to the river make you just want to enjoy the area and nothing more. Go upstairs in Notre-Dame is really a huge physical exercise but really worth when you are on the top. A must to go :D
Amsterdam
How many channels and bikes!
To some people... called The Venice of North.
(I have to say I can't compare because I have never been in the real Venice :P but it has to be similar somehow). I believe the chanels, the bridges and the so important business and financial centre and the cosmopolitan atmosphere make them very close. Anyway... like relaxed young life, here, in Amsterdam is incomparable to anywhere.
This city was builded in small islands that were linked by 400 bridges and a part of the city is below the water level.
The city is very famous for the red light street. When you go there is impressive how many womens with all stiles and bodyshapes are there to invite you to get some fun in that moment of the day.
As far as I remember. You can "get fun" every time!
The liberty in some drugs consume is also something turn this city unique. But be careful, really!
I stayed in the "Flying Pig Uptown Hostel". Despite in the first moment I had gotten quite weird feeling inside (special in the entrance). After all It was quite nice, staff friendly, simple but good breakfast and a good price.
