I was trying to search for a restaurant called Jardin d'en Face or the other one called Le Buffet near the hostel. Apparently, I think the first one is closed for good and I couldn't find the other one. Both were rated good in tripadvisor. Too bad then. I ended up walking a big round in Montmatre district and ended up in the same metro station I came from to go to the hostel. Along the way, I saw Eglise Saint-Jean-Evangeliste (eglise means church) and took some photos. Along the way, I bought Orange prepaid card and €10 worth of topup. Unfortunately, it's at a convenience store and the guy was too busy to help me (or there is not much he can help).
After the river tour, I headed to the Eiffel Tower for some photos taken from the base. I hanged around awhile as that's also the meeting point for my bike tour at night. For the bike tour, I was having several difficulties. The bike wasn't comfortable for me as I am more used to mountain bikes. The handles were curved in a way which I found uncomfortable. I was having little trouble and taking a little more time to start peddling each time I stop. We stopped by many nice places and the whole cycling trip was about 2.5hrs. Then, we headed for the boat tour which was included. We even saw the Eiffel Tower lighting up show (hourly) at 10pm. After the river tour we headed back to the bike tour office.
I reached back hostel at about 11pm+, checked in and went into my room. I soon discovered that my 2 room mates are asleep and I did not want to disturb them. Besides, it was pitch dark inside. Settled my stuff outside the room and went for a quick shower. And I ended my day at around 12am+.
