My original idea was to avoid big cities. However, now I am in Paris. Three reasons, weather forecasts, access to hostel and choosing the western route. Today’s trip was a bit of adventure, only small one that suited me. My friend Bernd drove me to Celle station and I managed train changes in Hannover, but the problems started in Mannheim as the train was 30 minutes late, so I did not reach the train to Paris, drove back north to Cologne and tried to reach Paris via Brussels.
However, the 2nd class seats were fully booked so I needed to buy a ticket to 1st class, what I did. If I were rich I would start traveling in 1st class trains. The service was like it was in air plains at early days. We were served first sandwiches with wine and coffee with cakes, after Brussels became a full dinner with meat, salad, potatoes, cheese, desert, coffee and wines again. From my co-traveler I did get a good hint of HERE maps, which work off line. With my IPad in my hand I managed to find this hostel.
So tomorrow I have a full day in Paris, what to do? Will it be Disney park or Cathetral in Chartre, which was recommendation of one co traveler who acted as a tour guide in France.
The first class traveling sounds fantastic!
Disney Park? When staying in Paris without children? Will be interesting to hear, what your choices for today will be. Greetings.
Yes Sirkka I am a bit childish, one excuse could be that my daughter worked there one summer. I have not made my decision yet. First I should get the seat reservations for tomorrow’s trip done. Of course the easiest would be just strolling around, a good choice, too.
I hope you went to Disney!
I went to the cathedral anyway, maybe another time. Cappuccino did work there one summer.
DThis machine changes my words, I wanted to say that Vappu worked there, Disney park in Pari one summer.
Maybe some language correction script gone bad..?
No niin .. you see mother .. just to take care of you train travelers for couple of hours they served you 2x 12cl (or hopefully more) of le vin rouge. Can you now not see it is perfectly natural for 2 people to split a bottle of wine over lunch and dinner and maybe even uncork the 2nd one and just slightly…
