My visit to the Eiffel Tower

The first time i went to the Eiffel Tower was on 2 June 2009. I took the subway from the hotel to the station nearest to the Eiffel Tower. The ride was about 1 hour. It was so long......(in Singapore, we only need at most 30 minutes to get to the city.) When we arrived, there was a snaking queue all the way to Timbutoo. But, this was the queue for the lift that brings you all the way up. If i had queued, i would never be able to go up. Anyway, we decided to climb up. At the thought of that, my mother decided to wait for my father, my brother and i while we went up.

Very soon, we were on our way up. After climbing 328 steps, we reached the 1st level. As we were climbing up, we had to open our mouths to get more air. By doing that, the air made our mouth very dry. We had no choice but to buy a drink which cost 5 euros from the cafe. My father complained that it was the most expensive drink he had bought so far. After taking soome photos, we continued to climb to the next level. After climbing 700 steps, we reach the 2nd level. We wanted to climb to the highest level but there were no stairs leadinig to it.:( We then went down and went back to the hotel.
