I haven’t felt this is happy in so long I could cry.
Everything I do is easier because of it.
Not sure if there free but Mildred’s taken a pan au chocolate. They are free.
Mildred’s grabbing me one. As if my love for her could grow anymore.
All C’s bought is a necklace yet her bag has grown. How.
Bought the biggest pack of biscuits ever for the train.
Leggings with pockets- one of the worlds gifts.
It’s all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits.
M has sat down with her bag on and now can’t get up. It’s painful to watch.
We are going to Italy !
I’m at the end of my teather with M leather! Im not at all, she too lovely, but it rhymes.
I’m tired now and enthusiasm is a bit lower.
She charges us €17 for all our train tickets. It was wrong. Thank god as We were gonna walk if it was that much. It’s only €5 for all of us.
We’ve picked rush hour to travel. Not ideal when you are the size of about 7 humans with bags.
C just said she loved me- not off her own back. But still. Progress
Tired. literally just following M. Thankful she’s good at directions.
Keep your ticket in your hand when changing lots of trains.
Even though I thought I’d be dreadful to not plan everything, it’s actually a lot less stressful than I thought.
I don’t like busy trains. There is instructors that are helping ease the anxiety.
If it’s only two stops just stand. Scream through the train to get C back. She heard me. I’m very loud.
Miley cyrus the climb is a major mood for us getting through the Paris public transport with bags. It’s not about how fast I get there.
Train barriers very tight.
Appreciate English translations of directions in the station.
Need to stand and breathe. Gather thoughts.
We are super early. But that’s okay. Peace of mind. Train to Marseille not even up. As mil, aka Shakespeare, says better 3 hours early than 3 mins too late. Everyone should really listen to that dude.
Turns out saying ‘I want a candid photo’ while pointing a camera at someone face isn’t going to get you that.
My bags been open all this time. Class.
Sitting waiting. Realise I’m leaning on someone else’s bag. I am SO tired. But happy.
Mildred offers gum. YES. That is exactly what I need.
I offer Hand sanitizer. Also goes down a treat.
Always squeeze too damn much. C’s getting high off the smell.
Cant be arsed to take my antibiotics it’s bad. Only a couple to go. As long as i finish the course.
Mildred just showed us a purse which a mans mouth. No thank you.
Excited to sleep on the train.
Mildred and C arguing over who can post the same photo. C hit Mildred’s phone out her hand. C’s tactically shared hers first.
I’m going to post a collection of photos in each place we stop. Kind of annoyed I care about posting Instagram photos but makes me happy.
So thankful these girls as so chilled. And smart.
C is going to report Mildreds photo. “How to piss Millie off- 101”
I am laughing a lot.
Apparently nothing happens if you report the photo- C does it a lot apparent (to her sister). Again, lol.
Mildred is looking for the Paris flag. Good luck with that.
Personally don’t understand finstas. Going to annoy you all on my real account.
Need to get off my phone. Don’t know if my portable charger even works and I am in charge of the booking for the next hostel – heck.
Not sure if I’m hydrated enough.
Food is fuel. C’s in shock at the thought we might of lost the food. As am I.
I’m now worried the bag I’ve been leaning on is a bomb bag. Gonna report it- swear that’s what you are meant to do.
What if they close the whole station? Maybe I’m overthinking and it’s my anxiety. The others seem quite relaxed and they put my mind at ease.
I’m literally just staring at the bag.
We think maybe it’s a homeless persons bag as you don’t need a ticket to get in the station.
I’m going to eat another biscuit.
Not sure whether to share that bit or not, I don’t know why but I think it’s important.
Feel like I’m going to get in trouble if I don’t report it.
C makes a valid point that it could be lost property. Going to go and tell someone to put my mind at ease.
Would feel guilty if it was a bomb and I hadn’t don’t anything- even though it probably isn’t.
My thought is now the lost and found will have a scanner for their bags etc so even if it’s nothing they can do something.
C’s teaching me to be a better person. She comes with be and supports me.
I feel better I went and some. The security and now going to deal with it. Actually am feeling quite worried in case something might have happened. They speak a bit of english and we manage to explain where it is. Sad we live in a world of terror but need to be smart about it. This is maybe a perk of my anxiety. I can breathe now I’ve done that.
Security are dealing with it. I see them looking so point them to the bag. It seems it be a guys. He is arguing with the security guy. Everyone is now starting to stare a bit. The bags still next to us and unsure why they are not moving. I’m hoping it’s just his bag and all is Good. This is why I think it’s important to speak a new language and understand what they are saying.
Feel so less anxious after typing this. Like almost as if nothing will actually happen.
I feel all is going to be okay.
Going to look at the article sent to us about things to do in La Spezia.
“The waterfront”- aka the beach. A nice way of saying it though.
Cinque terre looks nice and colourful.
Parco Giardini Pubblici looks like a nice place to read.
and now we are singing.
