Another day in Paris

So, another day in Paris. Today we woke up early again (in a lot of plain from the previous 3 days of walking) and decided to head first to Notre Dame and then brave the cold to the Eiffle Tower. We made it to Notre Dame without a hitch, we walked to the only train station we know (and can understand the signs) and took the B line to Notre Dame (which had it's own station). Easy. Notre Dame is beautiful and obviously being close to Christmas it is even lovelier as it is surrounded with snow, Christmas trees etc. From here we wandered the streets, bought some new shoes, had some crepes and hot chocolate and then decided it would be a lovely idea to walk to the Eiffle Tower. It wasn't. It took over an hour to walk in the freezing cold and epic snow and by the time we reached it I was limping from pain. We decided to stop in a little Brassiere for lunch (French onion soup and lasagna because they were the only items we recognised in the all French menu). From here we limped (literally) to the Eiffle Tower and took a number of snow covered photos. As you may know, tomorrow is Christmas so we are going to be celebrating the day in our own little way. Tonight we are heading out to the markets to pick up sausage, cheese, bread, antipasto and macaroons so that we can have a French inspired Christmas lunch/dinner and we plan on spending the entire day in the room watching movies, eating, drinking wine and letting our legs recover from 4 straight days of walking. Anyways, as promised here are a few more photos. The best thing about this trip has been the opportunity to write about it and share the pictures with you all so I hope you like them.

Above are a couple of pictures from inside Notre Dame, while below are just a few snaps from our very long walk from Notre Dame to the Eiffle Tower. I have never been as cold as I was during that walk.

Below is the lunch we had today, lunch is quickly becoming our 'favourite' meal of the day..well really it's the only meal. We find a big lunch gets us through the day (and we are usually asleep by 8.30 anyways lol).

Finally, below are the photos from the Eiffle Tower. I think Jesse fell in love with it even more than I did!
