Paris! C'est ici!

Paris! C'est ici!

So I made it to Paris from The Netherlands in two days. It wasn't exactly from Delft in two days but I'm happy enough. I cycled to Middelburg on the first day, which was about 110 kilometers. On the second day I did 185 kilometer, ending up on a campsite in Marchiennes, just beyond Orchies near Lille. Yesterday I did about 213 kilometer right into the heart of Paris, had time to spare to get a decent youth hostel booking as well.

However, since I think it's at least about 500 more kilometers to La Farge and I want to be there by Friday, I think I'm going to call it quits for now. I had three wonderfully grueling days on the bike and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to do two 250km days now. One would be impressive enough, but since I also wanted to focus on writing these few months I decided to stay in Paris for a day and work out the stories I thought up while cycling. The ones I haven't already forgotten that is... I'll make my way to La Farge on Friday through the magic that is parents that go to the Pyrenees on a holiday.

Right now, time for Paris! The traffic may be a god-awful mess but man does this city feel good!

OK, so that's what I wrote this morning, I'm now in Centre Pompidou and I found out that I could actually have made it (413 km according to google maps).

Well anyway, this way Paris, which is pretty Berlin if I may say so.
