Everything was done last night
The list was fully checked
A lovely morning bath
A bottle of water
Dropping by Vieux-Port
For a last time
Nervous
About the travel
Because of the transfer
From Orly to Charles de Gaulle
CdG – the airport I dread
The most
Terrace in French
Back to La Timone
Breakfast from some place on the street
Panini with cheese, ham and tomato
The last online check in the hotel lobby
Distracted by a lovely lady
Vis-à-vis me
She leaves
I head for the room, for the luggage
Checking out
A long journey
Starting with the last trip (for now) with Le Métro
Bus-ride to the airport. 31 degrees (Celsius)
Too early to check in
Time for food and toilet
Then check-in
Extremely helpful and polite lady at the check-in
Preparing me for what’s ahead
Crappy airport in Marseille
Shitty stores. The very few there are
Shitty food
And wifi connection from Hell
Seems like my day in Hell started with this wifi
Paris Orly. Nice little airport
Easy to find your way around the place
Easy to get a ticket for the bus to CdG
Goddamn bus
Goddamn CdG
A friend has challenged me
Get to CdG from Orly
Then check in and
Get food (apparently he’s supposed to have said «find a restaurant»… whatever)
Bus shows up
Takes a long time
In Paris traffic
Rush hour
Taking so long
Too long
Running out of friggin’ time
Bus stops between terminal 2E and 2F
I need to get to 2G
Bus 2N takes me there
In the speed of a snail
I will hopefully make it
In the nick of time
Running out of the bus
Hoooooot outside
A woman helps stressed-out me
The guy at the check-in tries to calm me down
Makes me smile
Says everything will be fine
He is right
Sandwiches are food
I think I did it
I made it
I checked in
In the nick of time
Remembering the challenge
Buying a bottle of water and some sandwiches
Apparently not accepted
Waiting for boarding time
Which is announced 20 minutes prior to boarding
The end of a horrible day of traveling
Is about to reach its end
Knowing this plane is a small one
I expect one with propellers
However, it is a jet plane
The smallest jet plane
I have travelled with so far
Finally
This dreadful and long journey
Has finally come to an end
I survived the transfer from Orly to CdG
I survived CdG
I failed the challenge
Doesn’t matter
I succeeded in getting home
Good night
