0th day, 5th September: Reutlingen – Paris – Saint-Denis

Finally Monday, 5^th September arrived. A friend gave me a lift to Reutlingen Railway Station, where I took the train to Stuttgart Railway Station. The TGV (french “Train à Grande Vitesse”) waited for me bring me to Paris, “Gare de l'Est” where I arrived at about 4.30 pm. The first “real” adventure was waiting for me: Finding a public transport from there to Orly Airport, which is south of Paris, within 3.5 hours.

Arriving at Orly Airport only 75 minutes later, I finally caught my Air France airplane heading to Saint-Denis, La Réunion. Eleven hours after take-off the airplane landed safely at Roland-Garros Airport in Saint-Denis.
