Dag 2–3
Day 0 - St Jean Pied de Port, France
16 april, Frankrijk ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F
Minneapolis to Paris to Barriatz to St Jean Pied de Port, my starting point. After going to the Pilgrim’s Office to get my credentials, maps and weather/safety instructions for Day 1 and checking in to my albergue, I had just enough time to take a quick walk around the old town (where I stayed) and see the Ingles de Notre Dame du Pont. Grabbed crepes for dinner and then prepped for tomorrow. People were asleep by 8 already, so it was an early night.Meer informatie

Reiziger Way to go. You got the fog, rain, and getting lost under belt and have maintained the Camino spirit. You crossed a mountain! Great photos. Enjoy day 2. Buen Camino.

Dag 2
Foie gras
28 december 2022, Frankrijk ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
We flew in business class (Delta points cashed in wooo) on Air France from New York to Paris overnight. I love business class. You can lie down. There are frequent glasses of decent French wines handed to you. And the entree includes foie gras.

I don’t want to get into how foie gras is made. That’s extremely cruel and you can read about how terrible it is on PETA’s website. But the culinary art of stuffing ducks and geese with food to enlarge their liver and eat that as a delicacy is actually thousands of years old. As early as 2500 BC, the ancient Egyptians learned that many birds could be fattened through forced overfeeding and began this practice.

Anyways I digress. I happily ate the foie gras and sipped my Champagne and managed to get an hour of real sleep.

That flight ended many hours ago but I am still experiencing the foie gras. It is sitting in my stomach like a rock. Like a little passenger who is there reminding me of how stupid I was to eat it.

Now we are preparing to take off to Delhi, and I am worried about what curry and foie gras might be like together in my stomach and how that is going to feel in 12 hours.

They have it on the menu on this flight but I am going to pass this time. Lesson learned.Meer informatie

Reiziger Not recommended if you need to sleep. Noisy and uncomfortable. I got around a total of 5 hours during the 11 hour flight.

Flying to Genoa
22 augustus 2019, Frankrijk ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Transfer bus arrived at 7am for Charles De Gaulle. Flight at 10.30am to Genoa.

Whilst enjoying our pastries, I encouraged Athena to face time her mother on FB messenger. Angela was so happy to see her daughter. She kept saying,'I love you Sandra', as she knew full well the coaxing that was required. Beautiful.

Called Jules and chatted away. Hi Lee. Sunny afternoon in Eumundi. So good to see happy smiling faces of people we love xx

We wander toward our gate and Athena turns to me and says 'They are calling out our names!'
SHIT! 'RUN!!!'
We ran down the glass corridor to gate 33. Phew, just made it.
So 1hr 20mins to Genoa.
And here we go from 'Bonjour' to 'Bonjourno' ☺

Landed and caught the Volubus to Station Principle.
At a little outside wine and beer bar at the station, I asked for a piece of spinach pie. The woman serving was confused and yelled out 'American, American'. A guy came over to serve me. Of course I said 'No American, Australian 🇦🇺 with a big smile' they laughed and all said ohh Australian!

I just love interacting with everyone I come across. A cheeky grin 😁 spreads across my face and another wonderful haphazard attempt at speaking foreign flows out of my mouth. It is so great.

I get our tickets to Monterosso for 11 euro each. And head to platform 20. Athena says she is not sure this is our train. I ask what do you want to do? She said she will go check.

Our train was leaving in 12 mins though. Our train time came and no Athena. I messaged her to say our train is due now. I thought good god where is she? She turned up in the nick of time. I was ready to leave without her. 😡Meer informatie

Paris. Shit show #1
1 juli 2023, Frankrijk ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F
We were about to disembark from the plane when the airport workers stopped us. There was a 1" gap between the steps and the plane they wanted to remedy. They put the safety rope up, then Tried to shut the plane door. The door wouldn't shut because of the safety rope. They then kept trying to slam it. Meanwhile the pilots and the stewardesses had us back up thinking the rope would snap. We waited for quite some time while they readjusted the steps. When the door was opened, the steps were about 7" below the plane. Then there was an issue with our boarding passes. Then we missed our flight... By 2 min! So now we are in Paris until 11:45, when we will be able to board a plane to Nuremberg at 1:30 instead of Frankfort at 11:25. The next flight to Frankfort is at 8 pm and is full. So to get there today, this was the option. Then I checked on our luggage, and it was not in the system. The kind man found our luggage (we will find out in Nuremberg I guess)
Paris, you can do better.Meer informatie
