Paris (Day 2)

We originally planned to go up Eiffel tower in the morning. Which means we might need to go queue at 7am cuz it's a sunday. But due to the extreme tiredness from the previous day, not mentioning spending the night in the bus, we decided to postpone it to the third day.

We started our second day to Musee du Louvre. Everyone knows what it is and everyone knows what's inside. There were too many state-of-the-art sculptures and exquisite paintings it was impossible to appreciate all of them. We managed to see a lot of them though. And yes, Mona Lisa has never failed to gather the most crowd. But well, Nike of Samothrace and Michelangelo's Rebellious Slave and Dying Slave have their own fans as well.

A pic with Pyramid Inversee before we entered the museum.. Tat guy behind very 'cho teng' la..hehe..

Louvre. Very sunny day..*happie*

Our next stop was Notre Dame. It was a sunday when we went, so there were many people in the church. I wondered if the visitors were a distraction for them.

Based on my map reading skills..ehem ehem..we managed to walk to the Pantheon. However we didn't enter cuz the entry was 7 euros and we thought that we would probably leave that place after 15 minutes..hehe..

We then went to Jardin du Luxermbourg. It's apparently a very famous park. I was pretty amazed actually. I mean the park has museums, palace, water fountain and sculptures everywhere. We had our moments there, and then proceeded to St-Sulpice. I imagined it to be small. But it turned out really big..hehe.. Anyway, we had the chance to see the original zero-longitude line, the Rose Line.

We had dinner at Chartier. Well, the decoration was plausible. But we had a rather unpleasant experience there. N the food wasn't exactly good as recommended in the survival book we had. In short, highly not recommended..hehe..

We then went to Eiffel Tower to catch the night view. But we soon realise that the night view was way nicer than the day view!hehe.. N considering the queue wasn't long, partially thanks to a concert held near eiffel tower, we decided to go up eiffel tower during the night. N the view really didn't disappoint us! It was..ooo...romantic..hehe..

Taken by my digital camera from the top of eiffel tower. Not bad eh?

Thanks to some tricks using my sony camera, it looks like sunset eh?hehe..it's actually already dark.


This was the actual lighting.

N finally, to sum up our moments on Eiffel Tower.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
