Today we decided to go up the Eiffel Tower - what a buzz! It was about 2.30 in the day and the queue to get the tickets was not very long and it only took us about 30 mins to get through and then off we went to the first level stop. We got out there and what a sight it was from every angle - I had forgotton what a great view it was and how pretty a city Paris is as we went up the Rockafella tower in New York and although this was a good view the city was not as pretty as Paris. We then got back into the elevators and headed to the top for the best view for as far as you can see. Even in the lift going up the view is fantastic. Got to the top and it did not disappoint. It was good to get our bearings and to see where everything is in the city. The photo I have attached with the green sign and 3 people says "beware of the pickpockets" - we have seen some classic signs on our travels. After coming down the main part of the Eiffel the kids and I decided to take the stairs part of the way and that took it out of us. When we got down to the bottom we got the photo with the Army people and their real machine guns and then off to dinner at Torcedo at a nice cafe and to see the Eiffel Tower light up as it finally got dark about 9.30 and every half hour the tower twinkles with large fairy lights. Tried to get it in the picture but it does not do it justice.
