Chapter 4 - Northern Europe - electricity issue

We found the Paris Metro a little confusing but after standing to the side and casually watching others we got the hang of it and made our way to the Latin Quarter to find somewhere to stay. We both decided that the Latin Quarter was the only place to stay for two women looking for adventure and romance.

I thought our school French wasn’t too bad, but it turns out it’s terrible. No one understands us in Paris, or else they pretend not too. I used to think Niki was better at French than me for some reason but now I think she’s just more confident. She has taken to saying “Les dieux et les petits poissons”, which confuses everyone. It was getting late and we weren't having much luck - everyplace seems to be booked already. I thought sleeping on the streets in Paris might be kind of romantic, but Niki reminded me we need an outlet for our curling iron.

We did finally find a room, a square box on the sixth floor of a pension. The bed dips in the middle and there's ony one light in the entire place but if you stand on the toilet you can see the Sacre Coeur out of a tiny window in the roof. It's absolutely perfect!
