Day 02 Fri A Day City Bike Tour in Paris

Today Disatnce :34 km
Today Spend : 13 euro
We started our city tour at 9 am after a nite of good sleep in Xavier flat . Arned with a city map,We zigzag our way thru many snall roads and roundabout and had to ask many times from the locals about the correct directions.It is indeed very tough but thats is the challenge for every tour cyclist. We managed to visit most of the famous attractions including the Eiffel Tower,Palais Royal Musee Du Louvre, La Bastille,Palais De Chaillot,Arc d Triomphe,Concorde etc... This was my 3rd visits to Paris and had went up the Eiffel tower before, so i did not go up again and just happy to hang around and took pictures.On our way back, one French old lady believe to be on her 70s,volunteer to show us the direction and we were amazed at her powerful eye vision refering to the map.We bought some foods  and Annie has the chance to show her cooking skill on 2 Malaysian dishes of Cucumber fried egg and Pork stir fry with onion soya sauce. This is our way of saying thank you to our host Xavier, wife and the Bulgarian girl.
