We got a close look at the Eiffel Tower, but didn't go to the top because the line was super long. I could see the top from the ground anyway ;-) After that we walked to the Louvre which was faaar. We ate lunch, and saw cool stuff on the way though. We actually brought lunch with us from a place by the hostel that sells huge sandwiches for like €3.
The Louvre is simply insane. Way too big and way too much to look at. Besides the obvious stuff like the Mona Lisa and Venus di Milo, we saw a bunch of ancient Egyptian, Roman, and Greek artifacts and art. We also saw a lot of 16th - 18th century French and Italian paintings by artists I have never heard of. Awesome place, but somewhat overwhelming.
After that Mark went to look for souvenirs, but I was too tired so went back to the hostel for a nap. The restaurant right next to the hostel gives a 10% discount to guests so we ate there. It was crap. Oh well, I'm down to €20 and that is getting used at the bar tonight.
Not much else to report. Back to London tomorrow morning. It is only a few hour train ride so we will have time to do some stuff. We plan on going to Westminster Abbey since it was closed to tourists when we tried in the beginning of the trip.
Au revoir,
Kevin
