City tour, River seine cruise and Eiffel Tower...

We all slept in today til 8am, we must have needed it, the kids spent time  with Nana and Grandad, and we all met at the Eiffel Tower at 4pm, but Paul and I went sight seeing.... we made our way into Paris to the Notre Dame and were there by 11.30, had a look around and got on a hop on/off bus around the city to try and see as much as we could, it went for about 1.5 hours, then we went on a River Seine cruise for an hour, the weather as perfect, sunny and not a cloud in the sky. It was nice to sit and listen to the history on the audio and take it all in. The Eiffel Tower is  amazing, we were all excited to be there, to see Lachie so excited after talking about it for so long...we had paid for a fast que pass, which means we skipped the long que, this helped with the kids. We made our way to the 2nd level, and we were wowed by the spectcular views, simply stunning. We walked around and had a 360degree view of Paris. Took lots of photos and lined up for the lift to the "sumit" right up the top, kids and all. Lachie was a bit scared for a minute going up, but we told him not to look down and to hold our hand, then he was fine. The view was great and Paul and I had a glass of champagne while we were up there, more photos, then made our way back down. Lachie chatted to anyone who spoke English, and at one point a lady told him he was a little flirt, lol We all had a laugh. Started to head home about 7.30, we were hoping to see it light up, but were told that the lights don't go on 'til 11ish so not for us this time. Caught a couple of trains to get home, was 10pm, kids haf a quick bath, had something to eat and bed, the days are going soooo fast.......our big day tomorrow, DISNEYLAND, cannot wait to see their precious little faces...we have talked about it all for so long and now it is here.
