| City thru Hop-on Hop-off |
After our gathering in hotel, we found we have a very less time to go around (it was 4 o Clock already) and so a quick decision was required for visiting as much places as possible. We had two options. One to use the public transportation (which we were not familiar with) and other to use the Hop-on Hop-off bus service. Since we were awake of our great knowledge of French (lol), we went with the second option which was little expensive. There were various bus services providing this hop-on hop-off service (which is an open top tourist bus which goes around all important places of Paris). With 29 Euros as premium which is quite high for the few hours of our travel in bus, we took our first step to see the most awaited Eiffel Tower.

| The Concorde |
Checking Paris from the top of the double decker was an awesome experience. And since we didn’t have much time, most of the pictures were captures from the bus top. But again to our disappointment, we had made another big mistake. We took the bus in wrong direction which means we will see Eiffel tower only after 7 o Clock since that’s the last stop for the bus. The good thing about European climate is that in contrast to Asian countries, sun will never set till 10 pm during the summer. Therefore, 7 o’ clock seemed to be ok for us. Starting with St. Madeline church, we covered Auber, Palais-Royal Comomedie Francaise, Museum d’Orsay, Arc of Triomphe, Norte Dame and finally Museum du Louvre.

| Museum Louvre - Am enjoying |
World famous Museum du Louvre was amusing as it welcomed us with the glass pyramid (which I saw in the move Da Vinci code). Our real photo session started in the museum. Especially with my friends expensive Nikon SLR, giving pose to the picture was a pleasure. The only disappointment was we were unable to see the world famous picture of Mona Lisa due to our time constraint. After checking all around the museum, we were so determined that our next spot will be only in Eiffel tower. After an enjoyable ride around the city in the bus, we ended up in Eiffel tower.
