Bayonne to Paris, 05/31/25

Not too much to say today. Checked out of Hotel in Bayonne, bus over to the station and then 10:14am train to Paris. This was a TGV but seemed to be a fairly slow one. It did however go all the way to Paris with no changes. Some 5+ hours later arrived at Montparnasse and after a few miles of underground passages and steps on to the metro and back to the same AirBnB I had earlier in the trip. After doing laundry and getting set up, off to Apero with Ward and Melinda who moved from our fractional to a bigger one down the street. Lovely apartment, 5th floor with elevator! Then a quick walk to dinner at Le Petite Celestine. Very warm here so good for outside dining. The whole city is going nuts because of a soccer game which Paris St. Germain ultimately won over Milan. not a great night for sleeping with fire crackers, etc. going off and much yelling and screaming. It was also quite hot. A note to those planning to go to Europe, if the weather is going to be hot, I strongly suggest you bring a silk sleep sack. Otherwise, you’re likely to get a duvet and a bottom sheet, but nothing else. This works fine in cold weather, but not well in hot weather.
