Travelblog : Eiffel and his tower.

The tower itself is magnificent. Only built to stand for a handfull of years its a testament to its design that not only is it still standing but it has become the symbol of the great city it adorns.

Its powerfull attraction extends to the pigeons and beggars that swarm around like flies on ... well.

Some beggar tried to involve us in some sort of scam involving a gold ring. No idea what mind you, as we just gave her a quick 'Non merci' and away we went.

Right, time for a nap and then its out to Quai St Michel for dinner and beer.
