From Warsaw to Paris

Ah, Paris on V day. Simply a romantic idea. Well that's the plan anyway.

Woke up at 7am, ate my breakfast, bathed and everything. Then skype my girlfriend to get some last min advice and tips on where to go and meet her. Then at 9am, I set off to Paris! The tram ride was quite short (8 mins) and then I took a 45 min train ride to the Modlin train station. The train is quite empty so it was a comfortable ride for me. Modlin is also super beautiful with all the snow. I also saw some people ice fishing on a frozen lake while on the train.

From the train station, there was a 10 min bus ride to the airport. When I reached, there was only 30 minutes left to check in and do baggage check! Holy shit. Fearing that I may miss my flight, I cut my way to the front of the check in and just smile, say sorry and point to my nearing flight departure time. Thankfully it worked and I did the same thing to the security checkpoint. And it worked again and I boarded the plane with a few minutes to spare. Scariest thing ever, so please do have 1 hour buffer for you to do the above next time.

And we have lift off! To be honest, I think that Ryanair pilots suck. I usually don't feel nauseous, but on both my Ryanair flights I was a bit wobbly. And they have the worst landings. 

Once I landed in Paris Beauvais, I took a bus to Porte Mailot metro station. The bus ride took about 1 hr 15 mins and I was late. Nearly got pickpocketed at the station. As I was walking towards the station, some guy suddenly appeared and was cleaning my bag. Apparently, someone spilled tea on my bag and he was helping me to wipe it. But it looked totally dodgy and seemed as though he was the one who poured it on my bag. So I just gave him the glare and told me that it's ok and then he backed off.

Back to the story, I was supposed to meet my girlfriend latest 4.30pm at the gantry but I reached at 4.45pm. She was supposed to go on ahead if 4.30pm struck and I have not reached. So, I went on ahead and took the metro to the apartment. To my horror, the landlady told me that I was the first one to reach! Holy shit no2. I quickly connected to the Wifi and found out that she was still waiting for me at Porte Mailot. Somehow, we went to different gantries and completely missed each other. Then she was just being awesome and nice and waited there till like 5.30pm when I contacted her. Afterwards we headed to our apartment and went out to look around our place. It was night and kinda cold, so we only walked for a while and then went to Franprix supermarket to buy things to cook dinner. But actually she cooked it while I slept cause I was so tired (heh). Then I woke up, ate and went back to sleep. Feels good to be served hehehe =)
