The idea was to make a short trip to Paris by bus at the end of November 2023. Calculated time of departure 9.30 hours, which became 9.50 hours.

This seems like a dull road trip, at 2 hours 30 minutes on the way, N Belgium
A17 in N France, 4 hours on the way
About 4 hours and one minute on the way, now in N France

High way in N France, 5 hours and a minute on the way

On this road hoping for good or better / while seated on the front row in a bus / heading for La Ville Lumière (the City of Light) / rain came pouring, slashing the windows / and changing the experience into murk and flashing screen scenes / of viaducts crossing the motor road.

At the entry of the ‘Peage’ (Toll road), time 14.47 hrs

At the exit of the ‘Peage’ (Toll road) at 16.07 hrs

The driver from Eastern Europe / talking to another driver crossing / the content in a different direction / in their own language / endlessly.

In the tunnel (1)
In the tunnel (2)
At about 6.5 hours drive, Paris is near.

Still, the driver paid attention to the traffic on the road, the lights / and he drove peacefully to the terminus / at Gare de Bercy.

Getting close to the ‘Peripherique’
Readiness to remove our rubbish
Keep left for the Peripherique (at 16.39 hrs)
We are very near now, at 17.19 hours
Exit to Gare de Paris: Gare de Bercy.
