The South Tower

Today we went to Notre Dame. That's where the Disney movie of the hunchback of notra dame is set. Notra dame is 130 metres long, 48m wide, 35m  high. Notre Dame was built between 1163 and 1345, around 900 years ago. There was a bell tower on the  top. That's where Quasimodo lived. Quasimodo snuck out a few times. His master was a very mean. He tried to burn all of Paris. His master tried to kill him, but in the end his master died and Quasimodo was free.

Boris adds: Quasimodo is a fictional character from a story by Victor Hugo. BUT there was a shy stone carver with a hunched back who worked on the cathedral during some restorations in the 1820s when the story was first written. The stone carver and author may have known each other. I really liked the Disney movie version. People should just be nice to others. 

Here are some photos and then some replies to 1EL.

Dear 1EL,
Ava, Lucy, Hudson and Miss Lewis: What other food have you tried? I have tried crepes, but NOT SNAILS! Mum forgot to buy them tonight. Oh well, too late. The macaroons tasted delicious. They are my favourite so far and so is bolognaise. Hudson, you can buy macaroons at McDonalds in Bendigo. They aren't as good though. 

Kylah: Do you want to come home? Not yet. I'm happy and having fun travelling, doing my blog, flying on planes, going on trains and seeing lots of famous landmarks.
Alexus: Are you having fun? YES, I'm having super-duper fun. Going up the Eiffel Tower has been the best fun in Paris. 
Caitlyn: How many hotels have you stayed at? We been to seven places so far. 
Clancy: How tall is the Eiffel Tower? It is 324m high. 
Aliza: Do you miss us? Yes. 
Maddi: Have you had fun with Boris, how is he going? Boris is going very well. He loves travelling and me helping him answer questions from my class. 
Mietta: What is the food like? The food is delicious! I love buying strawberries from the markets and eating croissants. Mum and Dad love the espresso coffee. Dad loves the chocolate croissants and Milana loves the pasta!
