Ah Paris!



Paris was great. Ella was able to live one of her dreams and climbed to the second level of the Eiffle Tower. We were even able to see it lit up at night, pretty spectacular.
While we were waiting in the line to buy our tickets for the tower, an Australian family gave us their passes to use the open-topped bus that takes a tour around the places of significant interest. After being on our feet all day, it was a great way to see the city and didn't end until after dark, so we saw the lights as well.
The Eurostar trip was great, unbelieveably quick and efficient. We managed to negotiate the Paris underground and found our hotel without any hassles. Seeing some of the homeless people who live on the streets was an eye-opener for Ella and very humbling for all of us.
It is a week since we left home and we have seen and done so much.
Thanks to those of you who have written on our blogg, it is great to be able to keep in touch. (Chaz)
