July 16th - Avalon Day 8 - to Paris Cont'd
Talk about funny! Like 20 minutes in the Conductor announces we were at our destination and I was very surprised and said "WHAT"! Well my seat neighbours all laughed and said there are other stops enroute - like the cruise!!! DUH ME! Not sure why I thought we were on a direct trip?!?
Hmmm can't see much because of trees, walls or track yards until you come toa vilkage/town but most houses are old and in need of repair or cosmetic work.
OMG we are "FLYING" now and my ears are going crazy with built up pressure! Gum to the rescue!!!
Some of the "wheat" fields look like major weather damage about 3/4 hour before Paris. I do not like these mini tunnels either - ears pop!
I dozed off a few times and we arrived in Paris at 12:20 on schedule and had an hour to find lunch at various kiosks. Hmmm not impressed with my first veggie bun but liked the chocolate filled croissant! Definitely looking for a pizza Cafe for supper. We were told restaurants were expensive but street kiosks not so, plus beer was much taxed whereas wines not as much.
