... ahead of time online. We didn't know when we would go, so were stuck like a line of ants waiting to get into the Queen's lair. <br><br>The good news was that the Girl got in free, and this was unexpected. Non-EU residents under the age of 18 are free. If you are an EU citizen under the age of 26, you also get in free, fyi. So instead of 40 euros, it only cost us 20 euros to get in.<br><br>Then we got out of the ticket office right back into an even bigger line to go ...

Shay and I weren't too keen on the fire hazard crowd so we ditched with our friends Sam and Mike in favor of street crepes and more wine on the steps of our hostel.
