Day One Paris

We spent the first day in Paris just walking around all day. We stopped at a McDonalds in the Latin Quarter where you needed a code for the toilets. Then we caught a boat up the Seine to the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is huge and the lines were very long. I was hassled by some people trying to sell mini Eiffel Towers illegally and they were  chased off by the Police. We walked across the Seine and looked at the Tower from a distance then it started raining really heavily. We walked back to the Seine, under some bridges. (under the bridges smelt really bad) and caught the BatoBus to St. Germain. There was a bridge there with lots of  padlocks locked to it. There were old and new, big and small, all kinds of padlocks with peoples names on them. We crossed the bridge and walked to our Hotel - the Novotel les Halles. There is lots of dog poo everywhere on the footpaths - be careful where you step!! We had dinner in the restaurant - it was pretty good. I was up until 11.30pm playing x-box in the hotel foyer.
