I'm in Charles de Gaulle airport at the moment killing time. I have just over five hours until I can check in for my flight. Why am I here so early? Well actually I was late and missed my flight. It wasn't my fault, it was Paris' fault for being stupid. I left my hostel nice and early and went to Gare du Nord train station to catch RER to the airport. Then the ticket machines wouldn't accept my card...and they dont take notes...and the ticket offices were closed...and none of the shops would give me change. SO frustrating. Eventually, after running around frantically for like 20 minutes I found a ticket office and got on the train. Then I realised that my booking didn't specify which terminal I should hop off at. So I hopped off at Terminal 3 and asked at the info desk. "Easyjet fly from Terminal 1" they told me, so onto the airport shuttle I went. Then at Terminal 1 they told me to go back to Terminal 2A. Then after walking all around 2A I was told that Easyjet actually fly from 2B. By this time I had well and truly missed check in and was thoroughly pissed off. I then had to pay 50 euros to transfer onto the next London flight, which is at 6pm. Gah. What a day.
I really shouldn't compain though - I just got to spend four amazing days with two of my best friends in Paris. And tomorrow I get to see my Mum for the first time in 15 weeks. Happy days.
