literally another aussie in london

Bagging London, Australia and Myself

Literally an aussie in Paris: EIffel tower

Had i thought through the Eyeful tower trip, i may have informed the guide, who had been before, that there was no reason to go.

Instead we went out there on a cold night, with millions of tourists, and looked at the big bastard.

I must admit it is probably worth the look.

Although the flashy hourly bit seem a bit unnecessary.

You couldn’t help but notice how many trinket sales man there were.

Mostly because they had glow in the dark trinkets.

The question you have to ask once you are there is, is it worth 2 hours of my trip to go up the tower?

For me, no.

I really don’t get views.

And lining up with loud kids for ages doesn’t help the case.

After all the lining and stuff we only spent 15 minutes up there, it was night, so you couldn’t see that much.

I think the time could have been better spent in a restaurant.

Although the night did prove one thing, i needed a warmer coat.

Also i took a couple of photos.

This one is through a tree.

This one is arty.

This one is from a ways away.

This one is from an angle.

  1. It’s funny to watch the trinket sellers if they see policemen approaching them. Word spreads very quickly and then suddenly there’s a bunch of guys running at full pelt away from the Tower.
