I have got a small announcement to make..
I ATE CUP NOODLES TODAY.
Haha. Sure enough, Lyon, a gastronomical city, sure offers wonderful food but nothing beats home cooked food! Okay fine, closely resembled home cooked food. Haha.
Slurp Slurp…
Haha, that was the lunch I had before heading down to Croix Rousse to visit the Silk-workers’ House. The rest were not very keen in following the commented visit priced at 5 euro, so we only visited a small part of the place that was open to the public for free. But, it’s really not bad la. There were many ancient types of machinery that looked very complicating but to me, that’s the beauty of it. =P
After coming out of the work-house, we walked towards the river and found this! A panoramic view of the city
Oh my, thank goodness, we decided to visit the Silk Worker’s house first before heading down toward the river. We were freaking high up. So it was down for us instead of up. Grinz.. Down down down we go..=)
On our way down, we stopped by this church?? that isn’t famous but has a little interesting story to tell. The entire thing was built above ground level and a staircase was supposed to be built but it wasn’t because the army barrack was right in front of it and of course they couldn’t demolish it. So it’s still there without a staircase to bring people up. Haha..
Further down we go..
The lesser known ancient roman site in France. The time of construction was 19 BC…super old right! And it was here in 177AD, the first Christian martyrs in Lyon was thown to the lions…slurp slurp..=(
And we went into this store and I couldn’t resist taking a few photos….
Say hello to the frogs..!
And the cats…
We finally reached the river and they were selling ancient/old books by the river. I like the idea terribly. Strolling by the river, flipping through those yellow, dusty pages..Ahhh…now if only I understand half what is written in there…=(
A mural on the wall of a building..
5pm and night came. We were now in the shopping district. We were window shopping when we saw this..It’s the Hansel and Gretel House..made entirely out of bread..Wahah..so pretty!
Okay I have no idea what’s this..some fountain..does it have a history to tell!?!!?
And finally to Place de Bellecour..It’s one of the biggest public square in Europe…that person on the horse..that’s Louis XIV..ghee ha..
Okay Okay..that’s all folks…
Come here, come here ma..and I’ll bring you around..!
