Day 3
... tourist & school children. I will be honest with you on a warmer less windy day, we could have spent hours peering off into this beautiful city, but both our noses had frozen over and after a trip to the "sommet" we headed to the Metro. Until this point the only travel we had done with the city was by foot, when I say only don't be mislead we actually walked for about a total of 12 hrs over the first two days.

What a beautiful place - the Tower sparkling and twinkling on every hour, masses of people just walking and enjoying the sights. When we got off the bus at Trocadero and saw the incredible uninterrupted view of the Towerfrom up the top we were just spellbound. It was the perfect end to a very special Christmas ...
