Day 2 in Paris found us walking to the Eiffel Tower from our apartment and then off to the Louvre on foot. This proved to be a big mistake as it took us nearly 2hrs to get there and we were already tired. If you have ever been there you know it is massive. We arrived at 1100 and left at 6 and still need to go back again to see the main things we missed and really wanted to see. We really should have taken the bus there but live and learn. We have decided to go some where else tomorrow, I think Montmartre. We also have a wine tasting at three and dinner at the Eiffel tower at 1830 hrs. On a positive note we were only approached by two pickpockets but escaped unscathed thanks to a local who clued us in to the first type. Two young girls and ask you for a signature to support the poor children and as for a donation. If you give it to them then they try to relieve you of other things. We have decided that anyone who approaches us is probably a pickpocket so we are just going to tell them all to SOD off.
Entrance to the Louvre. Thank goodness we have our paris pass.
Of course we had to see the Mona Lisa.
