LouvreLouvreLouvre

The artwork in here, and the sculptures, were amazing.
Another early wake up - as is the norm (7ish) - and then an entire day wandering the streets of Paris, trying to avoid the language barrier and eating at a little cafe. Saw all the big sites, including he Louvre Museum, which everyone agreed you could spend weeks in (it has 18km of corridors). There was some amazing artwork and sculptures in there, including the infamous Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo statue. We then headed down Champs Elysees, an amazing and rich main street (which looked unbelievable at night), towards the Arc de Triomph (massive arc structure thing). Climbed that 284 steps for more great views. Then it was on to the Notre Dame, which had another 200+ steps to climb for more views. All in all a completely packed day, which by the end we were exhausted after our train ride home. But yet after suh a long day there was still the Moulin Rouge, which was amazing (but expensive) but worth it for sure. And then an irish pub two doors down, which started well by playing 'We come from a land down under' 10 minutes or so after we walked in. So there was about 30 aussies screaming it in an irish pub in paris - quite a unique night. so, that ended at like 3am, then off to scrape whatever sleep possible.
