Europe (Paris) (2nd part of 2nd day)

We searched for our hotel which was located at Saint-Mande. We took a really long time to get use to the train system as it was pretty different and very complicated. Plus the difficulty in communication, a lot of patience were needed! Was so relieved to see our hotel.

The better Metro station in Paris.

My first hotel in Europe.

Later on, we went to the long awaited destination in Paris that is Eiffel Tower! The first glance i saw of it was at the train and it simply stole my heart! It was amazing and i felt unbelievable to see it. Eiffel Tower was actually built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair marking the centennial celebration of the French Revolution. Went down at Bir-Hakeim station and walked towards the tower.

its right behind of me!!

awesome!

We walked through the parks. Saw quite some couples there but mostly everyone was in groups. Actually i don't really get why Eiffel Tower is an icon of romance. But i guess its the area around it. I could see many nice old buildings. Fascinated by them. x)

Enjoying the tower from the base. x)

Saw many couples and groups of friends here hanging around.

At the base.

After that, we toured around Seine River.

Walked to the Arc de Triomphe. A little bit about this arc. It was built to honour those who fought and died for France in the French Revolution and Napoleionic Wars. You can see the names of French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Even beneath its vault, there lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I. Amazing.

Anyway, it was already dusk when i reached there. So, we had dinner and walked along Champs Elysées, the world's most famous street.

So, this was my second part of my second day!
