As Cookie posted what happend to him i might aswell tell what happend to us (bf and me).
Arrival day:
We left home on the 26th at 7:25 am. A friend of mine drove us to Utrecht because we couldnt get there on time by train (needed to be there a half hour before the bus left).
9:45 am bus left for Paris (crappy bus not comfortable at all),
one stop in between of half an hour
16:45 arrival at Paris- Galliéni
On to the metro, as soon as we boarded we foudn out the station where we had to transfer was the only one where it didnt stop (maintanance or w/e), so i looked on the schedule to find the stop where we had to transfer.
18:00 arrival at our hotel, wich was less luxurious than it looked on their website (windows wouldnt close properly etc).
In the evening we strolled around in the neighbourhood of our Hotel and came across the Moulin Rouge (ofcourse we had to take a picture). Had dinner at Quick (MacDonalds kinda thing). We were pretty knackered from the travel so we went to bed at 22:00.
The day of the meeting:
Woke up at 10, so we skipped breakfast. Decided to go stroll around again in town. We had coffee and a croisant in one of em lil coffeebars, when they served it obviously the only coffee they knew was espresso..ohhh wakey wakey! My bf bought new shoes and he got me a nice new shiney ring with amathists
Back to our hotel to changes clothes, left at 15:00 for the metro.
When we arrived on Champs Ellysee i forgot the name of the store where we were supposed to meet so i decided to txt TB..answer didnt come that soon so i tried callin TB and Cookie, none of em answered so i called Patchou. Funny thing was we were infront of the right store before but decided to walk back a bit towards a very recognisable point. Finding the group wasn't that simple either, they weren't exactly at the door of the store and the Champs Ellysee is a very busy street, loads of ppl. I kept lookin around and around but didn't recognize anyone, so i grabbed my phone again..appears the group was right behind us, lol. What we did as a group is already known so i'll skip that. One thing i'd like to mention tho: i lent KS my mittens, wich was funny...i wonder if anyone took a picture of that.
Next day:
We had to get up at 7:30 to get ready to leave and have breakfast. Taking the metro at abouts 9:15. We arrived on Galliéni on time (plenty of time left, but we had to be there an hour in advance). When we were finally allowed to check in there was a problem with my bf's ticket (apparantly the chauffeur tore off one piece too many on our way to Paris). The check in guy wouldnt give return ticket tellin me it wasnt valid an that i should buy another ticket for the next bus (whilst there wasn't a next bus to where we were going on that very same day). I told him wtf, i aint buying another ticket i already payed for two returntickets! He took away my boardingticket too
So i decided to call the Eurolines emergencynumber (Amsterdam) and after explaining what was going on i handed the phone over to the check-in guy, it was all sorted after that and we got our tickets.
11:00 departure of the bus, wich was more comfortable this time and the chauffeur made more stops aswell. We saw two movies on the bus, "rebellion" and "about a boy".
17:45 arrival in Utrecht. On to the trains, departure 18:18..arrival 19:56. On our way we saw loads of snow, snow in our hometown still too.
Now everytime i look at my "Paris" lighter (i needed a new one, when we were upthere..so i got me a nice one with "la tour Eiffel" on it and shiney colored lights when i open it) i think back of Paris. We had so much fun, i already missed everyone the day after...when's the next meeting?
