24 hours flying.

I'm finally here.

Tuesday morning, time to rush over to the airport. As my flight was leaving from Orly, the southern airport of Paris, i decided to take a cab caus its only twenty minutes away driving ( if you take the train it's actually going up to Paris and back down to the airport ). So the cab driver was picking me up at seven, turns out that I was so busy with the last of my stuff to put in the suitcase that i finally got out of my house at 7 - 10 just to see that there was no cab at all. So i called the guy, and he's like : " I'm sorry but i waited half an hour and you weren't coming out so i just left" and I'm like " has it ever occured you to ring the bell or call? ". God forbid we mess the up parisian cab driver's schedgules... So i rushed to the train station just to see that half of the trains weren't working cause of that blasted rain again. Great ! .... So I obviously stressed out at the beggining, but in the end i got to the airport in time.
So my connecting flight was in Madrid, and during the few hours I had there i met up with a good friend from lima. We had a very nice lunch... those spanish hams and cheeses are so good ( just see our faces on the picture ). Then we rushed to the aiport, the plain was full, so they upgraded me to first class.... talk about good life. Guess the flight was okay, slept a bit but spent most of the time talking to an Argentinian old man ... about Argentina. Gave me plenty of adresses and wines to tastes for when i come back end of july ( leaving for Lima tomorow night.)
Did I mention my luggage never arrived? ... worst part is that not only mine but al teast 70 persons were left with no suitcases.
So first thing i did when i got up was some shopping, but i definetly lived the French reputation today, my clothes stank.
Tonight's party time.... i'll have plenty of time to write and upload the pictures while im waiting for my plain to Lima ^^.



Je suis enfin arrivee.

Mardi matin, direction l'aeroport Orly. Vivant dans le sud, il etait plus logique d'y alle en taxi qu'en train, rendez vous donc a 7h avec le taxi. J'etait tellement immergee dans les derniers preparatifs que je n'avais pas vu les minutes passe, 7h10 je sors finalement de chez moi et je ne vois aucun taxi a l'horizon. J'appelle alors le monsieur et il me dit : " Ca fesait un quart d'heure que j'attendais, comme vous n'etes pas sorti, je suis parti" et moi je demande : " Elles servent a quoi les sonneries ou le telephone..." M'enfin... Alors c'etait la course a la gare, et bien evidemment il pleut des cordes donc la moitie des trains supprimes. Genial!! Forcement j'ai tappe un bon pti stress mais enfin de compte je suis arrive a l'heure a Orly...donc tout est bien qui fini bien ( pour cette partie du voyage du moins ).
Mon vol de connection etait a Madrid, alors j'en ai profite pour retrouve un ami de lima. Tres bon dejeuner, ces jambons et fromages espagnoles font vraiment le bonheur du midi ( suffit de voir nos tetes sur la foto ^^ ). De retour a l'aeroport le vol etait plein, alors je suis passe a premiere classe... Si ce n'est pas de la "joie de vivre" ca. Le vol etait OK, j'ai passe la plupart de mon temps a parle avec un vieil homme argentin.... de l'Argentine bien sur. Il m'a donne des bons reperes a Buenos Aires dont je m'occuperais une fois retourne sur BA fin juillet ( eh oui, je pars pour Lima demain soir.)
Ais-je mentionne que ma valise n'est pas arrivee? le pire c'est que on etait au moins 70 a etre dans le meme cas. En tout cas ca ma donne une bonne excuse pour faire du shopping a gogo, a moi les minijupes et les jeans ^^. Mais j'ai definitivement vecu la reputation Francaise, mes vetements puaient.
Ce soir c'est la fete... Demain je posterais les fotos en attendant mon prochain vol !!
