Impressions of the bicycle trip part III France - Paris!

Oh my! To go by bicycle in France is like a roller coaster trip! It goes all the way up and down, up and down! From Antwerp to Lille I was really motivated, the sun was shining, we got there actually pretty fast but everything after that was soo painful for me. I had so much sore. I remember I wanted to cry when we got to Amiens (after Lille again 120km) because I didn't thought I could make it! I was soo tired and I was so happy when our hotel room had a bathtub!
Did you already recognised that I went on this trip with an old Amsterdam bicycle? Craaaazy! We had to stay a night in Beauvais because I couldn't make it all the way to Paris. That would have been over 150 km! And I swear 60km before Paris my bicycle almost broke down! But there was nothing I could do about it! 60 km later we honestly made it to Paris! Sooo unbelievable! In Paris I rented a room closed to the Charles de Gaulle Etoile. It was wonderful! One morning I went jogging in a park close there and met the firefighters at their morning work out! Impressiv! The boulangerie just down the street.. What I love about Paris? It's probably cliche but all the way from Charles de Gaulle Etoile to the Louvre! Most of my time I spent somewhere there and the Louvre is just amaaaaazing! Sadly I needed most of the time to recover in Paris and I had so much sore so that it was too painful to walk around haha If I'm gonna do such thing ever again? I don't know! First of all I need a new bicycle! This trip really killed it! My poor lovely bicycle! Rest in peace! I love you! And thanks to Lönja for everything we went through! For all the support! I can't imagine to have done it without you!!!:)
