Day 33 - Parisian icons
... note: still ******* down) and as the landmark we were heading for drew nearer we kept our eyes peeled for a Velib station that we could dock our bikes back into. Despite the rain we were having quite a bit of fun at this point, until we realised we were the only idiots on bikes and therefore there was just one free dock at the Velib station.
We took a bit of a gamble and cycled closer to the Eiffel Tower, where there was apparently another Velib station, but ...
