The hostel is quite noisy and our room, beside the lift
and overlooking a courtyard may be noisier than most.
Nevertheless, I slept quite well.
Off to breakfast, just up the road, having first gone to
Gare Du Nord for some cash, then off on the Metro to see the Eiffel Tower.

From here things go a bit pear shaped.
We get the “Stairs Only” tickets using them to get us to
the 2nd Floor. They do not however take us to the top of the
Tower!!! I thought they did when I was here in 2011,
At this point, having only looked two directions from the
second floor, Jo decides it is time to bail out and heads of for the “Sortie”
and we go all the way down and exit the Tower.
As I am now persona non grata, I head off whilst she sits
fuming, to find we could have got tickets for the top from the second floor.

We then jump on the Hop on, Hop off Bus however does not
prove to be a success either.
Nor does Musee D’Orsay, so we are back at the hostel just
after 3.00PM.
Effectively, a day wasted. What more can I say?
A nanna nap helped things a bit and we got out to tea
later than usual, about 7.30PM for a pizza of all things and Belgium beer!!
