During the day, it's always around 30 degrees, and at night it never drops below 25 degrees, which is quite exhausting for an average Central European. You can only sleep with the air conditioning running nonstop. By the evening, we feel exhausted every day.
Then we flew with Air Caribbean, and from what I saw, we were one of 400 other passengers heading back to Paris, and from there took the TGV via Stuttgart back home. A long and exhausting day filled with train delays and a bomb threat.
