Day 1 - Paris

Well it was a little bit of an effort to get out of bed, but being the good sports that we are, managed to, at about 8.30am afer having sat in bed with a cup of tea, deciding our plan of attack on Paris. By the way today was not a good day money wise, we weren't wise! In saying that it was a fab day and we crammed in the following:
3 different bus routes around Paris which took us to the following places where all our  money went.
1st stop - Notre Dame: I now only want to go to a church where a Hunch Back rings the bell. (Back on the bus)
2nd Stop - Eiffel Tower: Thank God we are patient people! It took 2 1/2hr from start to finish, but so worth it. When we got to the top there was a french man selling champagne by the glass, so say no more we had to toast the tower and Paris. I now only want to live in a house where when you on the roof you can see for 64km all around. (On the bus again)
3rd Stop - took awhile as we got on a different bus route which showed us parts of Paris that we wouldn't have seen, but worth the look. Back on track (you know I mean the right bus) stopped at Madeleine church, I do have 1 suggestion for the people in these churches, please put more lighting in there as us old people have trouble seeing in the dark.  1 plus for poor lighting - I'm sure we look better in that light. :-).
Back on the right bus thinking we would go to Sacre Coeur but by the time the bus got to the stop it was 7pm and our stomachs took over, so headed back to our hotel and food.
Budget today - blown by 100% - feel free to send money!
