I hauled myself to three wrong bus stops before finally finding bus stop Y which took me to King's Cross.
Not really. It stopped at Euston to my dismay. I hauled myself to KX on foot.
I got to Paris. It was sunny. I stepped outside the Gare du Nord and couldn't stop smiling.
Got lost for a while. Reached Gare de l'Est.
Went summer shopping at H&M because the weather is freakishly great.
Then started my epic underground journey. Turns out, there actually was a direct line linking my place of origin with my desired destination. An hour later, having suffered a shameful fall in the Parisian metro and having changed direction four times, I finally got there.
It was all worth it.

That's all for now.
