Yesterday we were busy little tourists. We caught the metro to Notre Dame and wandered through it - amazing stained glass! Then across to the Latin quarter where we had Greek lunch We then did a 3 hour walking tour, which was both entertaining and informative. It ended a couple of metro stations from the eiffel tower, so I just had to keep going. The q for the elevators was 2 hours! There was no q for walking up. Grant thought better of it, I trotted up the 700+ steps to the second level (no need for a run today). We then metroed home for a short while before heading out again for tea. We sat and watched a couple of stars arrive at the picture theatre opposite for the premier of spider man 3d.
Today we were dragging our tired feet. We went out to Versailles in the most inefficient, hopeless tourist way possible. However we did get there, walk the gardens - about 5 kms, tour the palaces, and wonder at the craziness of it all. Now home with our feet up and dinner cooking on our 1 element.
