So I arrive at the airport feeling tired, weary and feel like I've forgotten all the French I knew before Christmas! I need to know how to get to Beauvais station from the airport so I speak to the people at the tourist information place.
I am told I infact cannot get a bus or taxi to Beauvais then a train to Lille as I had planned, I will have to get a bus from the airport to Paris. I will then have to find my way to the train station to get a train to Lille. Thankfully the man is very helpful and gives me a map of Paris, in Spanish!
So I get on this bus which is as long as if not longer than the flight! I have a little siesta seen as though I've been given a Spanish map, why not! That and I am knackered!
Lesson learnt? Try not to look Spanish, even when I speak French and English and for goodness sake look more closely into travel details and where airports are!
