Since I had two unused metro tickets and it was a nice day, I figured I would try taking the metro to the train station rather than hailing a cab. Turned out great, we were at the Train station in less than 20 minutes, so a comfortable hour and a quarter before our train. Grabbed a train lunch had a seat and then watched the board. Our train posted as 30 mins late, hmmm, 5 mins is okay but 30 could easily turn into a lot more. Let’s just say the train was an hour and twenty five minutes late, not fun. Good thing we didn’t have a plane to catch.
The lousy thing about something like this and for of you playing at home, when your train is late you must keep watching the board as they only give a 10 minute warning for when your train comes in and for you to get on. We were checking the board every five minutes and it must have just been posted because five minutes later when we looked, well we only had 5 minutes to get to the platform, find our cabin’s position and get on the train. So you wait and wait and then run for the platform, now wasn’t that fun.
Train ride thereafter was great, easily found the tram shuttle to our airport hotel and just relaxed before heading down to “the” restaurant for dinner. Jan had an omelet while I had a cheeseburger, yup, not very exciting.
Only one pic of our room here at the Mercure Hotel CDG... wrap up tomorrow.
