La Tour Eiffel

29/5/2014

Ah, La Tour Eiffel. You fill many a young heart with joy at the thought of you. Me too apparently. I've never been one to think of Paris obsessively, a la Monte Carlo, but seeing the tower itself made a world of difference. My absolute favourite view of the tower is coming up in another post but one of the best moments in Paris was walking around the seventh arrodissement catching glimpses of the tower through the trees and buildings. It is hard not to revert back to that squealing, wish-upon-a-star feeling when you are presented with the above.

We got to the tower early, so as to avoid the queues. I think we ended up waiting around forty minutes or so but it was worth it to say that I have been to the top. Here is what I have to say about the top of La Tour Eiffel: IT IS FREEZING UP THERE. I was probably the coldest I was on the whole trip due to the icy winds present at the very tip. I had to keep taking my camera battery out and rubbing it between my hands in order to prevent it's dying! Totally worth it. I warmed back up pretty quickly though after running down the steps all the way to the bottom. The Nutella and banana crepe may have helped a little too.
