On Saturday
we went out for lunch at a
crêperie
with Luuk and Amy, our Kiwi friends in France, then after a stop to procure a dolphin, we
faire les bises (gave kisses, French style) and departed for Paris
centre.

Full of
crêpe, we took the metro to our hotel in the 16
th arrondissement and then headed straight for
les Champs Elysées, La
Tour Eiffel and dinner
.
The next morning we returned to
La Tour Eiffel and enjoyed a breakfast of coffee and
pain au chocolat beneath the Tower. We then joined the queues to go up to
le sommet (As opposed to the second floor – which we discovered after waiting in a queue for 15 minutes and then realising it only gave the option of climbing the stairs to the second floor, rather than taking the lift right to the summit), and before long we were on our way up the great steel structure.

| Des billets! |
At that
time of morning, it wasn't as busy as we had feared, but it did not take long
for the tower to get much busier.

Though it was a mission to negotiate the growing crowd at the top, we managed to spend three hours up the Tower. Again, we were frozen to the bone, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Another thing to cross off the Bucket List!
