Travel Journal Entry: March 30, 2005
Gare de Austerlitz-Paris
It was 10:30pm, we finally arrived in Paris, France. I remember many days and weeks I used to spend in this magical city. But, we had our minds as well as tickets designated for Bayonne, French Basque country. Nate at least saw a quick view of the Eiffel tower. We flagged down a taxi car to take us to the other train Parisien train station, Austerlitz. I only wished we had more time to explore this great city. While waiting for our connecting train, I had a quick sense of depression. I think it was related to the uncertainity we were about to face, not having the convience of a living quarters, my bed or a real sense of employment. Though, I've traveled this way for many years. Even with my past exprience as a poor international vagabond, I guess I felt as though I had more responsbilities on this trip. I also knew that if things don't work out as expected or planned, I would face more consequences than my two traveling mates.
Bonjour! It's 6:30am, welcome to Bayonne, France! We walked around this beautiful city, though nothing was opened to take us in. We arrived very early in the morning. "We did it!" I said to Attila and Nate. The adventure begins. . . .
Nothing better than starting off our new morning with a Petit Dejeuner or breakfast with some french bread and some mint tea.
Later on that same morning, we found a nice hotel room with three beds, no petit dejeuner, but there were plenty of grocery stores to help the newly poor travelers in this small city.
Even with the stunning views and beauty of this city, it was not worth staying another night. We left the next day for San Sebastian, Spain.
