I’m actually writing this entry on the train from Paris Gare de L’est, en route to Basel. I can’t upload as the SNCF corail service doesn’t seem to have any wireless capability but maybe this will change when the new TGVest service commences in 8 days time. Anyway, forget all the facts & figures regarding cost & time, this really is a most relaxing way to travel. So far today I’ve got rid of all my English money (with a little help from an Aussie traveller on the Eurostar as I needed an extra 10p!) and enjoyed the last (for a while) of the English sunshine and green scenery as we whistled through Kent.
I watched the world go by at the Gare de L’est – including being filmed whilst eating my sandwich under the constant threat of 100s of sparrows! Have just left Troyes and, as is the norm on this service, witnessed the spectacle of the smokers getting their fix during the 2 minute stop at each station.
