DAY SIX - NOTRE DAME AND THE LOUVRE
Woke up hungover. NOT FUN. Painkillers, more sleep and a shower solved that though.
We headed out to Notre Dame. We took pics then headed up to the first floor, and the gift shop. I bought my dad a gargoyle keyring because A.It was Notre Dame and B.we used to watch that programme Gargoyles on a saturday morning and it made me think of that. Then we headed up the rest of the 377 stairs (Laura counted) to the top, stopping off on the second floor for some air and more pictures. View from the top was pretty good, though it was a cloudy day.
After stopping off at the gift shop IN the catherdral, where I bought rosaries, we headed for lunch. I had a croque monseiur and coke - €5 for a glass of coke!
Stomachs full we headed to the Louvre, stopping off at the bridge that features in the last episode(s?) of Sex And The City. Whilst we were at this bridge a party boat of some kind floated past and it had snow on it! Needless to say as they passed under the bridge the occupants of the boat started lobbing makeshift snowballs at the spectators on the bridge. Luckily we weren't hit.
At the Louvre we found the Mona Lisa after much searching. It's a bit smaller than you'd expect, but still nice to see it. We then spent ages trying to find Da Vinci's The Last Supper, only to eventually be told that it resides in Italy and that the Da Vinci code is a very unreliable book. We stopped off at the gift shop where I bought nothing before going to see the inverted pyramid, which was pretty cool I must say.
Once home we got chinese in - PATHETIC PORTION SIZES! I had sweet and sour.
Dressed ourselves up again and headed off to the Eiffel Tower. We had a wander and watched the lights show. We tried to make it back in time to get caramel sundaes at Macdonalds before it shut at twelve, but alas we were too late!
Good day.
Until Next Time ![]()
