Sitting at the park outside the Eiffel Tower. The sun just set and the tower is lit up. Blue. The queues to get up are a bit nuts at the moment – so I might head back here tomorrow morning to check out the lines before heading up. We took the longest journey to get here. From Bern, train to Basel, then to Mullhouse Ville, before a train to Paris Est. A couple Metro trains took us the rest of the way. 7+ hours later we get here. Hostel – 3 ducks hostel – doesn’t look so great. The shower is in the middle of the room – so there is no bathroom. Oh and wifi is NOT FREE here! It is right next to a metro station which is good, but it seems metro stations are about 5 minutes walk apart. Definately time for some dinner soon.
Tomorrow – I’ll get up early to hopefully climb this Eiffel Tower, and the Arc De Triomphe. The most probably head back to the hostel to grab Nick before heading to Evry. I thought we should go there tomorrow and not the day after since its a Sunday – so on Monday everything will be open and possibly less lines. But also hope that tomorrow – being on the weekend – I might be able to catch some photos of people in Evry practising parkour.
Day after – Monday – will be to check out the rest of the sites. Tuesday we’ll be heading off to Holland.
