After a very early start and arriving at Heathrow to a day filled with bright sunlight and anticipation, our plane was delayed by two hours. At least it was not Tashkent airport, and we were able to sit in sunlight and read and write drinking cups of coffee and tea. It was pouring with rain on our arrival. We decided to buy bagettes for a quick bite to eat before attempting the RER into Paris. Even the bread tastes delicious at the airport! It was the best ham and cheese bagette I have ever tasted.
The train trip was memorable for two things - the crowds and managing with our luggage, and listening to the passengers chat to each other. I sat with two business men who chatted non stop for the entire trip. We managed to change lines and emerged above ground at Les Pyramids, to collect train tickets and museum passes, before walking across La Seine to the Blue RER line to travel out to our friends home. Despite the rain, we were excited to finally arrive in this "city of love".
