Today the weather looked more promising, so we decided to set off for the Eiffel Tower and our Hop On Hop Off as planned. We managed to beat a lot of the crowds but still had a bit of a wait at the tower. this time I didn't go up, so that left Brett free to go all the way to the top. He was fizzing when he came down!
After that we did a bit of Hop On Hop Off, but only managed an hour or so before it started to rain. Fortunately, we were one stop away from the Louvre, so we headed there instead. Gosh, even the second time around it is gobsmacking. We wanted to recheck Napoleans apartments as in our head we thought that they couldn't possibly be as sumptuous as we remembered. What we found was that our memory didn't do them justice, they were more over the top than seemed possible!
We then headed to the sculpture galleries, which I really wanted to visit last time but used all our time then seeing the famous paintings. The sculptures are incredible and once we stopped with the oohing anmd aahing, we had a bit of fun with the camera.
After 4 hours had flown by, we braced for the cold and did a bit more on the bus, but we decided to bail on the bike tour in the hope that Tuesday night will be a bit warmer. It would be such a shame to ruin a really fab experience because we are too cold to relax into the true pleasure of it. Instead it was dinner at a French bistrot (really yummy!) then back here to prepare for tomorrow. Will keep you posted xx
