Well we left Paris on the Thello full of excitement and anticipation. We found our cabin and burst into laughter. I don't think the proverbial cat could be thrown in it! However it was a place to have some down time and watch the French countryside go by. This by the way is lush and green, with idyllic small towns and churches strewn everywhere.
During the evening we were given complimentary tickets for a glass of wine or a juice.... well we didn't need much coaxing. We went to the carriage to get our drink and waited in a queue. Then there were 2 ladies in front of us and that's where they stayed and stayed and stayed debating something with the staff in machine gun French and counting money. Then it was our turn and Tony ordered a sandwich and peanuts and wanted to pay by card. Well did that cause concern! Their machine was on the fritz and couldn't cope with the card and wanted us to pay cash. Tony had only a little cash left at the time but paid cash and then they didn't have the right money to give him change and said they would pay it later. You have to laugh!
