this morning we parted ways. bofh is going from lyon to some other place and i'm going to london tonight. decided to take the slow (7hs) way back to paris with a 19 eur bus, which has a wonderful AC socket. i love it so much.

massive shout outs to bofh who, despite what the name might suggest, is one of the nicest people i know and made the thing much less stressful than it could have been

...if you don't believe in curses, that is. but even in that case, superior curse management skills 10/10

hahahah fuck. my flight to london is tomorrow not today :D

i'm good at travel

ok so i liked the airport but i'm crashing at @[email protected]'s place, who lives in the catacombs and offered me an extra room

i hardly know her, but she seems cool and definitely not a murderer or someone who wants me to end up staying in an underground storage for dead people

found fib. she's shy

i think i slept... 12 hours? fib lives in a weird timezone and is still sleeping. the wifi is called "peptide" which is cute. there's a black cat that is even shier.

we went to a cat cafe, i ate "some french thing", then we walked back to fib's place to pick my stuff and ran to gare du nord to pick the direct train to the airport which will leave me with... 50 minutes to go through bag drop, security and boarding

more cat cafe pics

update: easyjet is great and i highly recommend them, they gave me another 15 minutes to get to the airport.

EZY2442 undelayed itself, it's only 4 minutes late now. reduce the intensity of the easyjet-thanking by 73.3%

ok had to commit some crimes because i misplaced one of my train tickets but other than that, i got to my destination safely and was given cup noodles :3

a few of yesterday's pics in france

, compared to it you are nothing

🖼️

oh i did manage to get a few cool photos while walking from the train station yesterday

oh hey i no longer need to ask people if they speak english, that's cool

today's adventure is a lack of adventures and chilling at a cute cafe with cute plants and cute people doing cute things (that is, nothing). i needed this tbh.

booked return flight LGW->EZE (DI7505) for the 6th of october. that's back to argentina. it was like 710 eur and oof owie this hurts. i couldn't actually buy it myself, a friend used his card.

so here's the situation with canada:
- flights cancelled, but no refunds, only travel credits (full cost with air canada, lost 150 CAD with westjet)
- i'm finishing the canada visa stuff in argentina
- both are very strong reasons to go back to canada soonish, but not sure when

still thinking about this pic i took in france.
is this. is it... really intended to be a... "sugar daddy"???

taking DI7505 back home from LGW to EZE, a ~rare~ norwegian direct flight

...or not really, flight overbooked. the ~low cost experience~ i guess

assigned seat! taking the same flight after all

this looks like business class??? wtf i love capitalism now

oh yeah i didn't post much about london because i spent most of the time indoors, and most of it in bed with a cold. rip. i got some stuff to post though, but later.

the bus back home is going through really pretty places but i must resist the urge to take photos because i'm no longer a tourist

ah yes, paris,

very poorly focused paris oops

there are tourists speaking english next to me, can't escape.
also heck i can understand them better than a bunch of the people i met the last few weeks.

because i failed to sleep, i spent the last hour on the plane messing with gphotos sliders of the rainy day london photos.
maxed whites and sometimes exposure, increased warmth a bit and saturation a bunch. i'm happy with the results
