Arrival Day - May 23 in Paris

Feeling a bit jet lagged, we decided to take it easy on the first afternoon right after arriving at our hotel (walking distance from the Eiffel Tower) so we took a quick 2 hr scoot around the city with Tuk Tuk & Co. These rather cute scooter cars lined the boulevard just before the bridge crossing to Trocadero. We were able to convince the driver to take us all the way to Montemartre and Sacre Coeur and had a blast zipping around the narrow streets atop Montemarter whereby we garnered quite a few astonished looks from tourists sitting along the tightly lined boulevard cafes ..lol...oh well, its one way to get around the traffic in Paris.

The following are some pics we took on the scooter car as we tried to cover as much ground as possible in 2 hrs.
