Yesterday we got back quite late so we did not have time to post. We had a very long journey which took us about 12 hours! We went on tthe Euro Tunnel which only took about 30 minutes and it felt very strange getting off the train and being in France. When we were driving to the flat we got our first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower! We couldn't believe how big and wonderful it was! In the flat there is a room where you can see the Eiffel Tower as well. We still hadn't eaten by the time we got back so we found a resturant to eat in where we could see the Eiffel Tower all lit up! It was amazing!We did not have much of a fun journey down but I think it was worth it because the Eiffel Tower looked amazing and the food in the resturant was lovely. The best thing was when the Eiffel Tower lit up and the walk to it was lovely too.
Today we had an amazing day. We decided that we wanted to get a feel for Paris, so we took the bikes out and saw some of the main sights. It is quite quiet on a Sunday so the roads were not too busy. We saw the Eiffel Tower, The Arc De Triumphe (and cycled up the Champs-Élysées) and The Notre Dame. We are going to come back to these places another day but we just wanted to find out where they are. We had an fantastic but tiring day which was completed with an ice-cream and picnic!I agree; it was an amazing day making up for yesterday! The best part was when we went to the Eiffel Tower! At the end of the Champs-Élysées(the last part of the tour de France, leading up to the Arc De Triumphe) we pretended to be Mark Cavendish (A British cyclist).
