Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe

Today is Alanah's day. Off to visit the Eiffel Tower. She is so excited and I think Liam is quietly hyped as well. Quite hot in Paris at the moment. Locals saying about 3-5 degrees hotter than usual. Normally about 26-28 degrees and hitting 30-33 degrees and it has been a long dry spell. Queues not too bad at the tower. Only took about 35 min. to get in and up we went. It was much nicer than last time I was here when it was cold and windy. Lots of photos taken and even lunch at the restaurant in the tower. From here we decided to walk despite the heat and headed off down the beautiful streets of Paris to the Arc de Triomphe. Again queues not too bad and we spent lots of time learning about it and lots more photos of the Parissian vista's. We used the Metro to get around, which is quite easy to use and did get home till late but the city was still bustling. Interestingly it doesn't get dark here in summer until about 10 pm.Read more
