Paris might be nice, but traveling to Paris sucks.
We took six trains:
- Wengen to Lauterbrunnen, where we had a nice breakfast at a bakery (Schoko-croissants ROCK!)
- Lauterbrunnen to Interlaken,
- Interlaken to Bern,
- Bern to Geneva, where we tried to sort out our TGV travel and were told there was nothing. We ended up paying FULL FARE for a ticket from Lyon to Paris. Lake Geneva looks pretty awesome, though.
- Geneva to Lyon, where Elise asked the French customs guy if she could get a stamp (he politely chuckled and said no.)
- Lyon to Paris, on the TGV which was actually quite nice.
After arriving in Paris, we took two Metro trains -- M1 and M8 -- to our hotel. We then wandered around a bit in the rain trying to find the hotel. We eventually found it, where we were blessed with a tiny, tiny bed and free Wifi. Fair trade, I figure. Elise needs a lot of bed so she may not consider it quite as fair a trade.
Anyway, looking forward to telling you about Paris.
