Travel Day to Pau, France

22-07-04

This holiday starts with a very early morning: getting up just after 4 to reach a flight at 7, even with the forecast chaos due to staff shortages and high season. But it all runs smoothly and the plane is 40mins late – so no stress 😉

arrived in Paris

Since I was all too late getting the ticket for my train, the fast TGV during the afternoon is already booked out. So I have to get the night train instead of spending a night in Pau.

But why not, leaves me with half a day sightseeing in sunny Paris!

Notre Dame – under reconstruction
the new Les Halles shopping centre

And I also manage to get a gas canister, and the last bits of food supplies.

Then I just chill in the Jardin des Plantes, next to Gare d’ Austerlitz where my train leave around 21.

Now looking forward to a good night’s sleep (fingers crossed), and wake up in sight of the Pyrenees at Pau.
