PART 3 .

When I finally arrived at Berci at 6 . 15 am Saturday morning . I estimated that I'd not slept for 46 hours .
instead of immediately looking for somewhere to pitch up my tent and sleep ,I foolishly took the Metro to Chatelet .
I then began gallivanting al over Paris . I first visited Notre Dame Cathedral [PIC] and took a few boring photos from a distance , I thought I'd take a more interesting pic if I got closer , so I climbed over the guard rail and walked towards The Cathedral . As I was
about to take a a closer pic , I heard a voice closely behind me loudly say " MISSUER" , I turned around to find a scary gun clad french paratrooper looking at me , I uttered a quick " Pardon" and then went and climbed back over the rail . The army boy came from nowhere , when I climbed over the rail there was only myself and a few tourists there . It was now about 7 . 30 am .

Part 5 .

Fuelled by my excitement of being in Paris , I continued on my very tired but merry way .
I stopped for a coffee at a roadside cafe and then met the lovely and beautiful Anna . All the while I'm in Paris , what made
my tiredness so much greater was my having to carry about with me at all times , a very heavy backpack . Which contained my
tent and various other stuff . I had 2 books with me , Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress and Oscar Wilde's  short stories . I intended
to read some of the Wilde book when I visited his grave in Pere Lachaise cemetery the following day . Also buried in that cemetery
is Jim Morrison . A friend had asked me to place a message on his grave and then take a pic . The message I had planned
to write was " Keep riding the storm , Jim ".

I may be getting on a bit, but I remember Paris in '49. The Champs Elysées, Saint Michel, and old Beaujolais wine

It seems odd to go to all that trouble to visit a graveyard even if you did accidentally encounter the beautiful Anna.
Surely you took a photo of her?

PART 6 .

I had arrived in Paris at 6.15 am , and despite my going without any sleep
for almost two days , I very often took opportunities to rest . My backpack felt
like it weighed a ton . When I did rest at a cafe or on a bench somewhere , I
often removed my heavy hiking boots and massaged my now pained and very smelly feet .

Despite only being in Paris for 12 hours or so , It dawned on me that I was in serious
trouble , the combination of very hot weather ,lack of sleep , and my carrying a heavy
backpack around with me, left me feeling that I was about to collapse .

I went into a shop and bought 3 litres of water ,I then went outside and sat on a nearby
bench . I sat there for almost two hours barefooted with a wet flannel on top of my head.

I added to the water many a pinch of pink salt .
I had some raw eggs , tomatoes and A mango .

I realised that more than anything else I needed sleep . A few hours earlier I had
visited a park that I had then earmarked as a place for me to later pitch my tent .
I now made my way there , when I got there 30 mins or so later ,it was around 9 pm
and the park was full of people , more so than earlier in the day . I rested on
a bench and took in more water, salt , eggs, cheese and a handful of raspberries that
a shopkeeper had robbed me blind by charging me 4 euros for .

I need a coffee and a sH1t . Be back in about 30 mins .

Blackpool or Morecambe next year, you'll blend in nicely with the flannel on your head.

Have a good trip, but I'm far from sure that the female denizens of Blackpool would compare favourably with the sophisticated Parisienne ladees.

And I can only describe them as "denizens".

Culvin if you get to Morecambe don't take a job as a cockle picker and don't race the tide you can't win.
