Well, I’m in Paris again at the same
Cafe’ using their free wifi. I started off
today at 6am in Hannover and have since taken 2
trains and am now waiting on my third. It’s
been a long day / morning.
My first train was pretty full, and I got to ride backwards to Koln in an isle seat. My ride from Koln to Paris was at least facing the right direction but I had the luxury of sitting in the isle seat again... next to a mother with her young and restless child on her lap. Yeah, he didn’t have a ticket and got to sit on mommy’s lap next to me for 4 hours.
I’m going to rant a little here and say that I hate isle seats. I was constantly hit with baby carrages / prams, peoples bags, and people that are to wide to circum-navigate a straight line between two seats with out wanting to make a turn in either direction. I know you’re probably thinking that hey, the train moves right? Yes, it does but it also happened a lot while we were stopped. So between getting hit with people’s bags, or baby carrages, while getting kicked or hit by the baby to my right (who’s mother spoke no English or German), I’m glad to be off of the train. Two down, one more to go. Wish me luck.
I want to be home in my bed.
