An amazing night on Malin Head experiencing incredible thunderstorms... thunder and lightening right on top of the van and torrential rain hammering down. I was snug as bug in my van 'nest' wrapped up in the duvet... Dr Fred wasn't quite so lucky. The rain was so bad it penetrated the seal on the hatchback of the van and slowly dripped on his head! He was able to wear one of the six hats he brought... hasn't found a use for the five pairs of gloves yet...
As we travelled to the nonexistant no longer running ferry advertised everywhere as every ten minutes all year round to then have to go back and drive right round the estuary...we encountered more rain and more wild thunder and lightening.... maybe this is the weather changing... maybe those gloves will come in handy....
Finally we have made it to Paris. It was a bit of a long travel day - we decided to come by train so we could experience the full glory of British Rail or whatever it's called now which actually delivered perfectly on time... and then the Eurostar which was incredibly disappointing! All that beautiful St. Pancreas Station and the Eurostar is sited in the dungeon... overcrowded, dark, lousy facilitated space... and then the train was an hour late it felt like a long time before we got any fresh air - but eventually we wound up in gay Paree... We navigated the metro and found our airbnb gaff. A mere 70 steps to the fourth floor on a rather lovely winding wooden staircase to a very nice roof top flat which is comfortable and gives a view across a lovely Courtyard with some obviously much posher flats. It's located really centrally about two minutes away from the Opera Garnier so a very good location for getting everywhere...
