After my horrific dinner and beautiful boat ride, had to find my way back to the hotel. It was quite a challenge with the trains. The weather had become colder, and it was approaching 10 PM. I also was vomiting up most of my dinner along the way.

After asking the train station attendant for directions I found the 63 bus 🚌 didn’t arrive. After 40 minutes decided to explore on my own as the bewitching hour was fast approaching.

⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰

After finding some helpful tourists, a new train station with a somewhat helpful attendant I was able to maneuver back to my hotel.

So from this experience decided to offer some tips on the Paris train 🚊 system.

Here they are..

• Always know the name of the station at the end of the line in the direction you are going.

• It also helps to know the line number as well. There are several tracks.
• When they say mind the step as you depart the train do so.
• Check the area around your seat prior to departure,
• Take a picture of the subway line on the wall of the train and follow along as the train goes through the various stops.
• Prior to my visit I scoured the Internet for information about the Paris subway system. I’m still looking for this information.
• Parisians are very helpful, especially the young ones, and if you’re older, it helps even better. Unsure how they’ll feel about us once the rapist is in but for another day.
• While I attempted to use an across the chest bag on this journey, I found my shoulders very tired. I will be returning to my classic fanny pack next journey. Female hips can carry the weight better.😆😆😆🤣😂😇😂😅😁
• Pick pockets and beggars are plentiful on the train. As a single tourist, I found myself targeted several times. At one point, I was startled, made noise and the beggar fled.
• Moving your seat helps. At one point I sat near another older single male passenger. I smiled at him and he nodded his head. He knew.
• Always wear a wedding band. No diamonds 💍.

That’s all for now.

I’m loading in for the journey to Mount Saint Micheal as I write.

Stay tuned.
