Our hotel gave us free breakfast each morning for not being able to accommodate that one night we lost, which was good because there breakfasts here were really good! After breakfast we had one thing on our mind and that was too head to the Eiffel tower so we went for a nice walk in the sub 30 temperatures for the first time this trip. We caught some glimpses of it through the trees as we got closer and then we found it "wow" what a sight it is! It is massive the crowds were huge already and it was early so we decided not to climb it!
We found the hop on hop off bus tour near by and jumped on board, it was not the best we have used it had headphones and for most of it they did not talk about the right things at the right time. The bloke driving also wanted to pick up every person on the street! At 1 point we had 3 other hop on hop off busses behind us, with one not so happy one even overtaking us.
We stopped at the big Arc De Triomphe and did a walk around, got some more clothes and eventually some lunch. We saw some of the new concept cars in the showrooms and even the new little Toyota I have been looking at. We then rejoined the bus and went to notre dame which I was not that impressed with! Compared to some of the churches I have seen this trip this is definitely not my top rating maybe I needed to know more about the history. ( which that still doesn't count for how it looks visually)
We took the bus again towards our hotel and got off and headed to the hotel, we were in need of a quick lay down (I fear we are heading for complete exhaustion). After our nap we had a couple of cocktails and headed to the martini makers favorite restaurant for dinner ( sorry Shauna but your restaurant was booked out)! It was down a small little alley and took quite a while to find. The food was small and expensive but it was delicious! It was also not French which was a bit disappointing but not a bad meal to finish Europe on.
We headed home for our final sleep in France, tomorrow we fly home
