Traveling to Paris has always been our dream. It seemed impossible to do before, but thanks to our Cologne trip, it finally happened this year.
I'm very glad we took the train to Paris from Cologne, never mind the 3-hour journey, because the train ride was altogether a totally different experience for Hubby and me. We were really lucky to get reasonably-priced first class tickets although I only bought the tickets 2 days ago.
The Thalys train has very comfortable seats in first class and we also get to be served lunch and afternoon snacks on our seats. We also got access to their free and fast WIFI connection. Although I was tempted to just log in to my Facebook the whole time, I did manage to see the sights outside the window and to take pictures of interesting places. But then, always when you ride trains, you only get to see the "back view" of the places you pass by. I still enjoyed it though. We passed through Belgium's "back view" and we've seen some parts of the countrysides of Germany, Belgium and Paris. Wasn't that lovely indeed! I didn't want the train journey to end, but hey, we needed to be in Paris, right?
