Day 175: Ah la la…
“Ah la la” is definitely phrase of the day.
The temperature is set to soar this weekend from low 20°C to some 32-35°C. It will then stay so for 2-3 days before another massive plummet back to around mid-20s °C. Insane? Just the thought of it… and I’ve been told by friends that Paris would easily feel like a city-wide sauna during the heatwave.
I’ve also been warned that travelling by public transport that’s packed would be equivalent to cramming oneself into a pre-heated oven. It would be better if I would consider alternative displacement methods, such as by foot or by bike (the Velib’). This is when I am glad that I have taken up an annual Velib’ subscription. Now, I just need to be brave enough to cycle with all the traffic around!
go cycle lil..i am sure it will be fun and safe ;)
sauna eh…and such changes in temperature..u take good care and keep yourself adequately hydrated alright…its the haze season back here now
hmmm safe won’t be the word i’d use when facing parisian traffic, hehehe. and you too, stay hydrated during the haze season.
