We have arrived in Paris, taxi picked us up exactly on time from the apartment in Barcelona (I need not have worried). Train went smoothly although someone at Barcelona tried to scam their way onto the train without a ticket saying they were part of our group, I quickly shut that down!
The train was smooth, quick, lots of great French countryside to see and arrived in Paris right on time. Annnd welcome to Paris! Ka-Ching!! Spain this is not… taxi from Gare De Lyon to the apartment (5km)… €76 ouch!!! Anywhere in Spain that would have been about €8. “Tourist Tax” on top of what we have already paid for the apartment …. €80. I’ve not even been in the city an hour and I’ve already dusted $300.
Sharon and Emma are off to the Moulin Rouge tonight as we just grabbed a quick dinner at a lovely traditional French Bistro around the corner.
It's all about the coffee
