Day 4

Ok.. we woke up early as eurostar was at nine and Gina requires a couple of hours of setting, as she has a cream for eyelashes, one for eyebrows, one for lips, one for face, one for neck one for every part of the body..

Anyway.. Eurostar... She also thought the Eurostar just jumped into the waves instead of going through the tunnel.


We all asked.. Gina.. this is your holiday to Paris. What do you want to see?

The Eiffel Tower..

Perfect.. We arrive, go to the hotel and then straight to the Eiffel Tower.
Now.. check the pictures and spot the difference.

Well.. we were in the queue to go up the Tower.. when Gina says: Let's go, "naaaaz ( sound made with rolling tongue ancora sapia... il pilone e' meglio, almeno e' colorato, da' sul mare, e' gratis e non si fa la fila" Now for the English speakers .. " all this for what? il pilone is better, il pilone is the limelight to show ships in Sicily crossing the strait their way, at least it's coloured, you have a beatiful sea view, it's free and there is no queue..

Now.. who's gonna tell the french ( ehm.. she actually did on the way back to a parisian!) that their beloved symbol, once the tallest building in the world it's actually nothing more that the imitation of a white and red thing in Sicily.. She also added : "ma va onestamente figlioli non dite cazzi.. parigi.. torre eiffel torre eiffel.. ancora non sapia.. "

She is still going on about the disappointment proved in seeing the Eiffel Tower. So.. Pina and I silently left the queue and well, went on to admire the next monument..
