Road to Rome

Today we set off early this morning for a trip to the Eiffel Tower.  I have been to Paris a few times but have never been up the tower, so today was very exciting.
It is also Colin's birthday so a very nice way to celebrate his birthday.  There is some construction happening around the Eiffel Tower.  They are building a bullet proof glass wall to surround and protect it.
We had to queue up and go through 2 lots of security before we were able to ascend the tower.  Our tour was to the second viewing platform.  There are 3.  the first floor with a glass viewing platform, the second level with shops and cafe and the summit.

We took the lift to and from the tower.  You can see the view from the lift as you go up (and down) the tower.
