into the void....
Queues for the elevators
Mmm diagonal elevators
eiffel_tower_029.jpg
Oh yes, it's Xmas!
Tickets get!
Front of the Ticket
We choose to climb up instead
It's more challenging
Not to mention beating all the tourist queues.
Taking the lift? Losers!
Stairs the way up man
You get to appreciate the tower more climbing up
not to mention see more of it
the 1st level observation deck
The views are great up here
That's the Champs de Mars, all frosty
it's high, but ain't high enough!
Look steampunk blaster cannons! :3
construction history
metal metal everywhere
target lock!
Overlooking the River Seine
We came from there!
steampunk... yes steampunk
View of the 1st level observation
through the grating
Le palais? (akak museum)
Frozen ponds round the tower park
The Pont du Bir Hakeim Bridge in the distance
More lift wells
funky red box lift thingie serves the 1st and 2nd decks
There are shops on the 1st level deck
Lookin up
Looking down...
seriously why queue hours to use the lift?
when u can get up here in less than 10 mins
shops along hte deck
not scared of heights, not scared of heights...
bridging the gap
Up to the next deck!
theres even an ice skating rink here
including the eiffel restaurant
These large lifts serve the ground and 1st floor decks
sights on the stairs up
there are 2 decks on this floor
It gets much more cramped up here
bit more to the top!
On level 2
same view, but better!
