Here We are at the Eiffel Tower


To void the jet lag as much as we could, we napped for about 30 minutes after checked in and hit the road again.

We decided to go to the Eiffel tower tour because it's not too far away from where we are, and it doesn't require whole lot of walk compared to visiting Champs Elysees or Musee Du Louvre or Notre Dame. So, we got our Metro (similar to US BART and Taiwan MRT) map and started our adventure.

I've seen Eiffel tower from TV, photos, postcards and the one in Las Vegas. When I saw it in person, it's in a much bigger scale and I must say that I was stunned by its design and construction. It's so amazing to be there in person and look up to the tip of the tower. Of course, we had to take the tour and get on to the top of the tower. Even the weather was a bit overcast, but the views were just magnificient!!

The tower was lit up at night, and it definitely gave a different feel to it. Now, I really feel that I am in Paris!!
