• Eiffel Tower day!

    January 25, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Okay okay time to go see the big tower. We hopped up and went on a train that conveniently led straight to the Eiffel Tower, were we had some brekkie at a nearby cafe. I had a croque monsieur (glorified toastie) which was so so good. Oo! And a latte. Thennn we saw the thing in person! Honestly it was about as big as I’d expected it to be, but it was so much wider than I thought. We climbed up so so many stairs and the view was astonishing. Like, all of Hobart could’ve fit into that view. After spending a bit more time there we climbed back down and it was cruise time! Not the best weather for it but it was still pretty cool. Makes you realise that Paris is big. After the cruise we went to an Italian restaurant near the Eiffel Tower while we waited for it to light up and sparkle. I had one of the best pizza’s of my LIFE that was sensational. Mushrooms make everything better. We walked back to the Eiffel Tower just in time to see it sparkle! Very pretty :) then we had a big walk to Caveau de la Huchette - one of Paris’ most famous jazz clubs. We watched the Bert De Kort All Stars who were super good, they played mostly trad jazz but what surprised me the most was how many people were there and the fact that there was a mosh pit at a JAZZ GIG. We were at the back so we couldn’t really see much but one aperol spritz and I was on the dance floor. What a good time. We went back home at like 12:30am and straight away zzzzRead more
