Hey Jelly Beans.
Hope all is well with all reading this. So today I had the most delicious breakfast first thing. What a fab way to start my day.
After devouring breakfast I booked a taxi and took a trip to this amazing place below. The Eiffel Tower.
Once I had reached the top I had a great sense of achievement. 669 steps later and I had reached level 2. Unfortunately you are unable to reach level 3 which in total has 1,665 steps. Drinking in the view around me of Paris as I was heading up was simply magical. Plenty of opportunity's for photo taking and to go at your own speed. The way back down took half the time to reach the ground which was a shame. Although I did catch a little boy (guessing around 8) say to his Father "Why can't they just put those moving step thingys in? It would be much quicker?" He did make me laugh at that point. Such an innocent little chap speaking his mind.
I had a fantastic day today all in all. If any one reading this gets the chance to climb the Eiffel Tower, don't pass the chance. You will not be disappointed when you reach the top. I will leave you with a couple of snaps from today.
Speak soon Lovelies

Upon arriving the site above greeted me. Such a breath-taking sight which I never thought I was going to see. So what did I do next?? I climbed to the top!
Did you know.....
- The Eiffel tower is 121 years old. It was built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle
- Since the 1980s, the monument has regularly been renovated, restored and adapted for an ever-growing public.
- Over the decades, the Eiffel tower has seen remarkable achievements, extraordinary light shows, and prestigious visitors. A mythical and audacious site, it has always inspired artists and challenges.
- As France’s symbol in the world, and the showcase of Paris, today it welcomes almost 7 million visitors a year (around 75% of whom are foreigners), making it the most visited monument that you have to pay for in the world.
