And so we didn't. We headed to the other large mall complex in Paris, but were too scared to even look at things. Why? Because there were brands like Prada and Jimmy Choo. I looked at one price tag and the sleeveless blouse cost 340 Euro (about NZ$700). Justin said he only came to look at the glass roof, so thought we better take photos of it.
On the terrace there was a great view of the city (but not as good as the view later).
Yes it is cold!
Later on we decided to brave the elements and visit the Eiffel Tower. Only one lift was working, and the weather was looking dodgy again so we decided to take photos of the tower rather than from the tower. Not long after we started taking the usual touristy photos we got hit with a downpour AGAIN.
It's quite a peculiar looking structure up close.
After a cruisy afternoon we headed to the Montparnasse Tower for sunset. There are beautiful views of the city at sunset and after dark.

The Louvre at night (it's the long strip of lights across the middle)
We were high up!
After spending quite a it of time using subways on this trip, I have realised something else. You have to give and take with the subway. On a positive note, it's very well designed. It's like a rabbit warren. People going onto the trains and coming off the trains don't walk up the same tunnels so there's no clash of foot traffic. However on the downside, there are a lot of stairs and there is a constant smell of stale urine.
Still hoping for a dry day tomorrow.
