Lolomiina: 14.07.2023
Today I, Cindy, am writing to tell you about our experiences. Well, where should I start?
First of all, we were really glad that entering Paris was relatively uncomplicated. I was already expecting Steffi to have a nervous breakdown with the driving style of my fellow countrymen... But that didn't happen, and Steffi skillfully led us to the campsite.
After setting up our camp, we headed to the Louvre. Elisa and I really wanted to go there, while the other two philistines preferred to explore the area.
The metro network here is super well-developed, and you can quickly reach all the highlights of the city with it. I had my awesome electric scooter with me, which I can use to get around anywhere in Hamburg. And if there's not enough space, I can fold it up and pull it behind me like a trolley suitcase. Super practical for being mobile despite my post-Covid weakness...
But I NEVER would have thought: the Paris Metro is not accessible!!! That means: no elevator, no escalator, no ramps... Just countless steps up or down! I struggled my way up or down with the help of the children, while Steffi carried my 30-kilo electric scooter... A painful and sweat-inducing situation for everyone.
I'm so angry: I thought Paris was a modern, open world city, and then something like this??? Today, one day later, I'm feeling the consequences and can hardly move due to the pain. It was my dream to be in the capital on the National Day of my country and enjoy the big spectacle. Now I'm lying in the motorhome while the others have ridden their bikes to the Eiffel Tower.
Small consolation: the visit to the Louvre was beautiful.
