Day 70 Paris

7 July
Our first real day in Paris. We walked out onto the street and found a Sunday food market just outside and bought some fresh croissants. We then caught the train into the centre of Paris. We started at ile de la cite, one of the islands in the Seine. We went inside the Notre Dame and also saw the palace on the island. We then walked along the banks of the Seine to the Eiffel tower. It was so awesome to see it up close and stand underneath it, we also walked up the park to get some good photos. We had lunch at the jardins du Luxembourg where you are not allowed to sit on the grass apparently. Today we also went to the st sulpice and st germain. After some well earned cold showers (28 degrees in the city today) we caught the train back into the centre with a picnic dinner and sat along the Seine watching people and boats go by. We watched the sunset then walked along the banks both islands, Notre Dame, saw the Eiffel tower in the distance, and down to the Louvre where we saw the pyramid lit up in the dark.
