Today was Spectacular
I really cannot believe what I saw! We reached the Eiffel Tower quite early in the morning and already there were heaps of people swarming around the Eiffel Tower. The line was huge!
I've seen pictures and heard so much about the Eiffel Tower and how famous it is and I couldn't believe my eyes when I actually saw it and went up it. OK, I did imagine it a bit different but that doesn't stop it from being amazing.
It was a breath-taking view up the very top (though it was a bit chilly up there) and you could see many different famous places and things.
When we went for lunch we calculated that there are about 6 and a half million visitors per year and I forgot how many per day. There were also HEAPS of dark skin men hanging around selling Paris souvenirs and Eiffel Towers.
We then went to visit the Louvre. First we visited the Mona Lisa! The Mona Lisa was painted by famous artist Leonardo da Vinci and is well known for it's amazing eyes! The lady that has been painted is very lucky! It wasn't what I expected really, what I expected was something bigger than that and the setting different. For Nanna and Grandad, I imagined Paris based on one of your paintings :) Otherwise it was really amazing! We looked around a bit more but then we got a bit tired and were really hot so we left.
I think the day was stupendous!
