Whatever, today was my turn to wait in line for hours (47 min actually) for the opportunity to spend 12 Euro to be able to get to the top. As usual the scammers were out and about. Very cleverly of me however, I've started to adopt the "No speakada English" defence. You just have to know how to say it in Italian. So far this has worked a treat....
There seemed to be a huge number of people waiting in the various lines to go in, but it took no time to be at the ticket window and on the way up. The view from the top is spectacular and well worth the 47 min wait.
Tomorrow is the last day in Paris before flying out very early Thursday morning to Athens for a quick stop before again heading off to Malta on Friday.
Traveling through Europe on a budget. Travel tips for travelers on a budget who just want to see what Europe has to offer. I used Busabout and Haggis. Stayed at backpackers both good and bad and had some fun and hilarious times.
