We’re back in the hotel by 2:40pm. got our luggage from the corcieerge and spent some half hour in the lobby while waiting for everyone.
The hotel is quite nice, we don’t mind staying here again.

First time I’ve seen Chit Juan in aqua blue, it looks good on her.
We were brought to the Bordeaux St. Jean train station by the same buses. Our train leaves at 4:28 and arrives in Paris at 8:10 pm.
We say goodbye to a city that gave us a memorable and relaxed 3 days vacation. My children and I are leaving more educated when it comes to wines. We haven’t left our hotel and yet we are already planning of going back. It’s always like that naman when we liked the place. But we never get to go back because there are other places in the world that are also waiting to be discovered. Who knows, maybe in a year or two? Encore Bordeaux!
Our train reached Gare Montparnasse in 3.5 hours.
It was hard to say goodbye to everyone. There’s so much hugging and kissing.
We were like one big family.

Our train was last to arrive at 8:10 pm. Trains stopped rolling at 8 pm because there’s a city wide protest beginning the next day. There were no taxis coming to the station. They were probably thinking that there wouldn’t be passengers.
They came in trickles so it took us an hour or a little bit more before we got on a cab.
After waiting in line for almost an hour, there was a French couple that arrived with skiing gears who expected to be given the priority. They were trying to squeeze into the line to go to the front. When I looked, the woman is preggers.
My daughter said kasi daw pregnant. Hindi ko nga sila pinansin. Sobrang feeling of entitlement naman. We’re tired and we’ve patiently waited in line, dapat sila din. Buntis daw kasi. Ano? Sya lang ba ang buntis? Hindi ko naman kasalanan na nabuntis sya. Hindi pa naman sya nag le-labor, hindi pa sya manganganak, galing pa nga sila sa skiing. Dapat they should either call a special cab or wait in line. Mas malaki pa nga tyan ko kesa kanya. Kung lahat ng buntis dito sa Pilipinas eh pauunahin ko sa pila, baka tatlong linggo na eh hindi pa ako nakakasakay sa taxi.
You captured our trip so well …up to that taxi line!
