2017 10 02 - Day 16 - Paris.
We were back in Paris, we felt comfortable on the Metro! Today we were off to the Louvre. When we were here three years ago, the queue was massive so we didn't go in. This time we were determined!
To avoid the queue, we bought 'jump the queue' tickets. We were told it will be a very busy day. It was!
Even though we had the 'JTQ', tickets, we still had to line up for 30 minutes.
There was a security check but it was a bit of a joke. To speed up the process, they opened another entrance. Some people were security checked and some got a very lax check. The guy doing the checks obviously had something else on his mind, not the safety of the public.
The crowds inside were incredible. We made sure we pushed our way to view the Mona Lisa. Even though there were signs to keep moving past the Mona Lisa, no one was!
After we left the Louvre, we found a very quaint restaurant where we had lunch.
We went searching for a mobile phone shop to buy an Internet service data card. We walked for ages but never found the one that was 'near' the restaurant.
Our day of being tourists was over. Back to the hotel for a rest before dinner.
