The Wacken Hot Tub (General Chat)

[Quark]

You know what's great? Waking up at the crack of dark, spending 1.5 hours getting to work on the bus (+ a total of 1km walking), then repeat on the way home in total darkness.

But you know what's actually great? A pay rise on top of an increased pay bracket.

Ach, in over 8 weeks, we'll all be drinking in Wacken.

Also, back in the country again it's nice hearing the screams of nocturnal birds at night instead of violent drunks.

I feel like I still have so much to organise (I probably don't). At least I have my passport! My photo makes me look like I had a stroke.

But speaking of waking up at the crack of dark, I shouldn't be awake right now. Night!

I don't blame you, Paris sucks (IMO), too many people and way too cramped !

And absolutelyy user unfriendly if you have to change from one TGV to anohter. Besides, I want to go to Lille. I don't need to be in Paris!

If you are coming from Netherlands, it seems pretty silly to have to go to Paris just to backtrack to Lille.

I live in Belgium, not far from Lille, so that is not the point.

Point is, I'll be in Nantes region (44), and I want to go back! So Nantes (Cholet-> Anger St. Laud) to Lille. There's only ONE connectino directly from Anger, but I can't reach Charleroi anymore!! And I have to be home the day after! Otherwise I'd suggest myself to go a day later! (return = Sunday 27/8)

Oh gotcha, so you are gonna need to go to Paris to get home

Sort of.

I'll be going to Lille tomorrow, and see if and what the SNCF will advise me to do. On the website, it's standard through Paris (Monparnasse > Gare du Nord).
