Day 6


Everyone had the usual breakfast as we knew that we would get hungry since we would be walking around alot. We went to the train station for half past 12 and arrived at Paris at half 1. We decided to go and see the Eiffel Tower today because we didn't have time to see it the same day as the Louvre. When we arrived at the Eiffel Tower some people decided not to go up either because they had been up before or that the que was too long. When some of the people qued up to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower, some people were trying to sell us all souvenirs. Some of us bought some stuff for our families, while others just haggled with them for pure entertainment.





After hours of queing we finally got to go right to the top and trust me when i say, the views were breathtaking.


After, on the way back down we all stopped in the gift shop to buy a souvenir. No one could belive the prices but when we realised that we wouldn't be coming back here we thought we might as well get what we want.








Since we had divided into two groups( one to see the Eiffel Tower, the other to shop) We decided to meet up at Louis Vuitton, to get there however, we took the underground to the Arc de Triomphe. The first time we all came here, Ben, Chris and Helen were with us, however because Sophie and Wayne weren't, we stopped for a bit and let them get a few photos,after all what's a trip without any memories. Luckily our meeting point wasn't that far away and we arrived on time with a little time to spare. When we had all rejoined one another, a few people went to Nike and Adidas, while others popped over the road to Quick to get some food. Within an hour we were all back and were ready to go back  to our hotel.


When we got back we all had some free time until the morning. Some went down to the Local pub to see their good friend, the owner and have a few drinks while others went to the town centre and had a look around. I can certainly say that on behalf of everyone that went, it was definately a tiring day.
