FUN! (In Norwegian: smaa barn, store gleder)

Yesterday I did something sooooooooooooooo fun. We went a group of about 13 for Mexican at a restaurant near St Paul, that Paul knew about (He knows about restaurants all right...). Paul's flatmate Matt works in a tourist place where he's a guide for English-speaking tourists and where they rent out bikes. So Paul, Matt and a friend of theirs called Bruce, they go biking basically all the time, whenever they want to get somewhere in Paris. Hence they were also biking to the restaurant, and on our way home me, Lydia and Sharlene were supposed to walk home, because really this city isn't that big plus it is so beautiful to walk at nighttime (this was around 00.30). But Paul said no no; we're gonna give you a ride home. And so they did.
Me on the back of Paul's bike, Sharlene on Matt's and Lydia on Bruce's. All through Paris traffic, while taxi drivers and buses and cars rushed by.

"On your right we have Jardin de Tuileries. We are now passing the Louvre. Over there you can see the Eiffel Tower".

It was so much fun! I haven't rode with someone on a bike since, well, many years. At first it was abit difficult to find the balance, but after a while it went great. I loved it! And Paris traffic isn't as scary as I thought, altho as Paul said there's a thing going on between taxi driver's and bikers, they don't really like each other..

Next time we're having our own bikes, it costs 2euros per hour to rent which is so great. I can't wait! I feel like I'm eight years old again.
