Gina and I headed to Paris on the Eurostar. It is amazing to think that this is a train under the English Channel!!!!
It only takes 20 mins to go through the tunnel. It takes a lot longer to get to the tunnel from the England side - although they are working on the track to make it faster and will soon have modernised another Station to make everything smoother.
We went straight to the Eiffel Tower and stood in a queue for about 3/4 of an hour. It was a brilliant view - although was quite cold and windy at the top.
We went to several great little restaurants and had wonderful food. Snails were on the menu and were delicious!
Didn't see any frogs legs though!
Angelinas is a well known cafe and we enjoyed their famous hot choclate - very rich and creamy! I saw Ben Harper there - he graciously ushered his children out of the way so that I could walk through with my moon boot. Nice guy! :-)
We saw as much as we could in the Louvre. You woulod need a week to see almost everything! It is HUGE! We viewed the "Venus de Milo" and of course the "Mona Lisa". (And yes her eyes do follow your every move!) We got there is good time to miss the crowds and had a great view of her.
Lots more to add later!
