around sunny paris on day 1

gonna get ready for moulin rouge after this, but am trying to make use of the time.

so i am posting some photos taken yesterday when we went to eiffel tower after having that indian lunch.

nope, i did not go up the tower. the queue was kinda long because it was sunday and the weather was damn good. so all parisians came out in drove to bask in the sun.

am planning to go up if time permits. time is not enuf!!!

view of the tower from trocadero, you just have to cross the short bridge to reach the base of the tower.
our mode of transport in paris of course. it is kinda weird buying tickets here. it is cheaper to buy in a pack of 10 and each ticket can be used one way only. but of course, they also sell day tickets. but we did not get it since by the time we left the hotel to go sight-seeing, it was already more than 3p.m. and we only planned to go one place and walk around and then come back to the hotel. so we bought a pack of 10, and now we still have extra 2 tickets. (there are 4 of us this trip)
hmmm...how many statues are there here?? ;P
did not change into any dress or skirt lah. i only took off another shirt and voila, i also basked in the sun like the parisians but of course with my new hat on.
a military building facing the eiffel tower. dun ask me its proper name, i have no time to google it now and give more details haha
street performers around eiffel and of course, lots and lots of vendors, mostly indians and blacks selling replica of eiffel.
another angle from the bottom of the tower.
a carousel nearby.
pont du alexandre 3, one of the most beautiful bridges in paris. we walked all the way there. it was hot and dry, but what the heck.


les invalides, napoleon's grave. but we did not go in. the dome was gilded in gold. so magnificent under the bright sunlight


ok, gtg now. time to put on the jacket and check out some cabaret dancers. the sky is still soo soo bright. but today it is slightly windy and cloudy. tomorrow's weather is expected to be wet ;( i am going to versailles to see the palace. hope the forecast is wrong. haha....
tata till next round
