We have arrived in France and are staying at the Orly
Airport Hilton for one night. Tomorrow
we will head out to the Normandy Beaches.
We are enjoying our trip very much but the least enjoyable
part is the traveling from place A to place B.
This step was by air but it was still frustrating. Our experience of mass transit in Europe has
been badly organized, poorly documented and inefficient.
I know it is terribly American of me but I am looking
forward to renting a car tomorrow.
Another thing that is annoying: this hotel charges 15 euros
for 24 hours of internet access. We
won’t pay that just to collect email and post a blog entry. Internet access should be included in major
hotels. I understand that it might not
be in small hotels or ‘bed and breakfasts’.
But a Hilton ? At the airport ?? Give me a break.
The flight over the mountains (probably the Alps ??) was
beautiful. And the weather here is
cooler – at least for now. It’s raining
a little but we can’t check the weather report for tomorrow without internet
access. Aargh. But even if it rains a little, that isn’t a
problem for us tomorrow since we will have a car and spend the morning driving.
