Garage finished!

Paris

Just got back from a wonderful romantic weekend in Paris. As you can see below Paris is so romantic even the pigeons are in,love !


Our first stop was the Louvre and wow what an impressive building, it is absolutely massive, we only looked round one wing, the one with the Mona Lisa of course - doesn't everyone! The painting is surprisingly small and you could not get very close


Next was the Eiffel Tower, it has always been a dream of mine to go up there. We queued for about 45 minutes to get in then got to the second platform by lift no problem but then had to wait 45 mins for a lift to the top. It was cold and very windy but I am glad we did it, the view was incredible.

The picture below is of the Notre Dam cathedral, after traipsing around the Louvre and Eiffel Tower we decided to view the Notre dam from the comfort of our boat as we cruised down the seine.

We had a fantastic time although Stuart seems to have got food poisoning and is currently curled up in bed feeling very ill!
