So last night was our final evening in Paris. We boarded a riverboat cruise along the Sen and saw all the iconic sights of Paris. After this we headed to the Latin Quarter where we explored the streets and got Keebabs at one of the vendors.
This morning after packing we took our last trip to Le Tour Eiffel, except this ti,e we ventured up the tower. Everyone we had talked to said you have to take the stairs up so thats what we did. have to admit I almost stopped at the first lookout because I was scared out of my mind but I didnt. One of the funniest parts of Paris has been watching/experiencing the street sellers surrounding the Tour Eiffel. There are anywhere from ohh about 30 - 40 guys approaching you trying to sell you identical Eiffel Tower figarines. I managed to bargain for a few.
After this experience I got to do some more shopping. I have realized that unless you are mega rich it is not all that feasible to shop in Paris. I ventured into a couple stores but didnt find much.
We were then onto our last stop in Paris, the Montparnasse tower. It is the only skyscraper in Paris. Once it was built they outlawed any other buildings of this kind to be built. You take an elevator ride (thank goodness no more stairs) up to the 56th floor where you have a 360° view of the city. It was a cool way to be able to see all the sights of Paris that we had been to throughout our trip.
After takign in the view it was off to the airport to head to the South. Once again flight was delayed, just our luck, but only 1 hour this time thank goodness.
It was dark when we arrived so it was hard to take in the view, but our apartment is right across the street from the sea so we dont have to go far for the full experience.
Tomorrow we are boarding the train to take our first trip into Monaco. For those of you who dont know, the world famous monaco grand prix takes place this weekend. It is tradition that there is no racing on Friday so we are just going to see the actual city tomorrow. Getting excited!!!
**just a note I wrote this on Thursday but due to lack of internet didnt get to post it until today
