bus from portland to spirit mountain casino

Walk from the train station to my budget hotel (10min), (Premiere Classe), do a self check in, then into my air conditioned room for a 3 hour nap. Train departs exactly at 12:59PM and provides a quiet, smooth, air conditioned ride for the 2.5 hour trip to Bayeux, (one stop in Caen) except of course for the cantankerous crying screaming toddler nearby. Use the SCNF phone app to get through the turnstiles, then onto train car (#4), stow my suitcase and find my assigned seat. After lunch start watching the monitors near platform 27 to figure out where my train to Bayeux (Cherbourg final destination) is arriving at, finally I see platform 17 is where I need to be. Go inside and find the train platforms to the Normandy area (near platform 27?) and then grab a burger king chicken sandwich with coke to keep me going. I find the street I need to be on, and start walking but get a little lost.įinally used GPS on my phone to make some course corrections and the St Lazare train station appears on the horizon. Too many pedestrians, bicycles, scooters, motorcycles, buses, delivery vans competing for space. I am not a paratrooper but I wish I could have dropped in from above instead of battling for room on the streets of Paris.

Lazare train station for my 12:59 pm train to Bayeux. First minor mistake, my Roissy bus A/C was kaput, and had no other ventilation or air flow, 75 min in bumper to bumper traffic in a rolling sauna machine.Īrrived at the Opera section, then stumble out dazed, confused, and jet lagged onto the hectic streets of Paris trying to find Gare St. The line is long but moves well, 30-40 min later with Navigo pass secured, went outside and waited for the Roissy bus for my trip into Paris Opera area.

Arrived 8:15AM, got through passport check quickly, picked up my bag and walked to the train station to find the Billets Paris et Ile-de-France office to get a Navigo weekly pass. Survived the flight from Portland to Seattle with 30min layover and then the 10 hour nonstop flight to Paris (CDG). Trip itinerary: 3 nights in Bayeux, 4 nights in Paris, then the My Way France Tour for 12 nights, then 3 more nights in Nice.ĭay 1 in France. These are my France daily trip reports from June/July 2022.
