Day 3- April 18, 2017
Bullet Train from Paris to Biarritz
Destination: Irun, Spain/ French Border
Featured Student Blogger: Olivia W.
Today
was more of a boring travel day than an adventure, but it was a trip
nonetheless! We woke up late, had a leisurely breakfast and said goodbye to
Paris. We then loaded all of the luggage – I’m talking tons of bags! – and took a double-decker bus to the train station.
After buying some (cheap but delicious) food from the station, we boarded the train
– at around noon. We took a TGV; Train de Grande Vitesse, or bullet train in
English. After what felt like forever (and was really a 5.5 hour ride) we made
it to Biarritz! A bit of a wait and a 45 minute bus ride later and we were in a
little hotel in Spain – just a short ride from the French border.
Everyone
got room assignments and a quick break before dinner. The busses split up for a
lovely meal in the hotel, since it couldn’t exactly serve all of us food at
once! Bus one ate around 8 o’clock and bus two around 9. The meal was either
ham and potatoes or pesto pasta (for vegetarians) and both were delicious! Our
travel day ended with everyone falling fast asleep.
