I could'nt make it, a polo giz for that.
Who were the mysterious 3rd?
Sncf strike on friday push me to reconcider my plan.
On friday i reach lyon hitch hikking,
but i didn't have any eurostar ticket for saturday and last minute tickets are so expensive that i could'nt afford it.
I didn't have bike neither (mine is stoke on marseille)
so first i went to a workshop in lyon, i built a bike (not a polo one, a holland one),
and then i try to push further.
the plan was to be in Lille on friday night or saturday morning, then take a train to Calais, take a ferry, and another train to london (one day to do that is possible) and that's why i needed a bike, whatever bike, to link different train station and different boat station.
Well, all train that i could have took on friday was cancelled, and after a heavy rainy afternoon riding in circle (between the train station, and different friend point) I found one friend and i get cold.
Saturday morning I woke up at 4pm, to late to imagine that it'll still possible.
That's how I missed the BFF London 2011...
SNCF sucks, they should be privatised as in England, and so we'll know where we'll go, and stop paying taxes for a semi privatised compagny, using our money for more benefits, without giving back to people what belong to people (ceasar was right but he was egocentric)
See you this week end so.
