Day one cont’d

Flight EK075 prolongs our day further by delivering us further west at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle, but can’t keep pace with the rotating earth: it’s gone 8 pm local time when rubber touches asphalt, and close to 10 pm by the time both our bags, apparently separated in transit, have been spewed into the chaos of the carousel.

It’s a short journey à pied to the driverless shuttle which takes us two stops to the Roissypole RER train station and a short wait for the trip to Gare du Nord. Which is hummingly busy. We then take Metro line 4 to Marcadet–Poissonniers, and change once for a one stop trip on Metro line 12 to Jules Joffrin in Montmartre.

Around 11 pm local time, we are checked in, around 34 elapsed hours after we departed home.
