Paris - The Eiffel Tower

"We then walked the same way as last night and headed to the Tower
We stopped on the way there and brought some lunch to take up
I thought it might be nice if we had baguettes up the Tower
We took some photos from a distance and headed up to start to climb"

"The Tower was closed!
The staff were on strike
I couldn’t believe it
I really wanted to take Brett up there but it turns out that I couldn’t
There were lots of military and police with guns patrolling
Brett was talking (to a girl) who said that the Tower had already been closed for three days
I was a bit relieved at that because I would have been really mad if we had been
walking around Paris all day yesterday and may have been able to climb it"
