First time London and Europe: Eiffel Tower, June 3rd

There is a first time for everything....

Right? ;-)

So I made it! My first 4 weeks out of the country! I've done it. and it was not so bad! Actually it was AMAZING! Take it from me ... (ok ;-) .... you will not know unless you have tried it yourself. I am so hooked that this will probably become at least an annual expedition ... different countries and different people...

Below is a collection of my first experience on foreign soil, on my own! Dawnting thought .. Nagh... Try it. .. you will experience it for yourself.. The highlight of some of the cool places that I visited and the drama to get there and back. Drama ... well .. ok .. not much drama ... only good memories that totally voided any possibility of unhappiness...

Anyway,
Enjoi!

Tonight I am the Eiffel Tower (I wish!) For the first time in real life I see it with my own eyes. Magical is what I would use to describe it. The ambiance created by the flickering lights on this amazing work of art, lights up the open stretches of grass, amidst the numerous people who stare in awe at this amazing statue. Every hour at night until midnight the electrical 'stars' light up the Eiffel Tower and its surroundings as if a Christmas Tree.

Hundreds of people stretch themselves out on the luscious green lawns surrounding the Eiffel Tower, admiring the spectacular sights. In the distance the strings of a guitar fill the night air with romantic choruses.

Some crack a bottle of champagne whilst others relax to the sight of the tower, sipping on a glass of their favourite vintage. It is believed that 100's of people annually start their lives together at this romantic place. Who knows maybe one day I'd share this magical place with someone too?
