Day 16: Aug 21, 2009 / Paris, France
Since we had a very long day on our first day at Paris, we started our second day late. We left the hotel around 10 AM and we took the metro to go to the Louvre. The Louvre is just two stations away from our hotel. There were still not much people on queue at the ticket booth when we arrived so we were able to get in right away.
We decided to have early lunch at the cafeteria there since we haven’t had breakfast yet before we start to explore the Louvre. The Louvre has three galleries which has three floors each. It is a very big museum so what we did is we just got a map at the Information Center and we just checked out the list of “Not to Miss” art pieces per floor per gallery.
We first went to see Mona Lisa of course and then followed the list in the map from there. We explored the Louvre from 11 AM to 6:30 PM and there are still a lot of art pieces that we miss but we were able to cover all the recommended art pieces to check out from their list.
We had dinner at the Louvre and then we went back to the Eiffel Tower so we can have a picture of it at night. There is also a light show every hour which we were only able to see while we were at the top of the tower and so we wanted to watch it from below where we can have a good view of the tower.
Then we went souvenir at the small store near the tower and we called it a day after that.
