I came to Paris as I planned. Nothing sensational about that. But the end was surprising Let me tell you what happened. I wanted to take train home to Eskilstuna. I went to Gare del Est day betore time of departure. I got tickets all the way to Copenhagen. Efter tht search for a bicykle boc. After two hours walking to several bicycle shops I got a box.. That evening I spent at my hotel prepareing my departure.
Got my taxi to get to station. I loaded my big box and my panniers.
Here is my stuff at the station.

In a couple of minutes it all failed. No big boxes on the TGV train. Wht to do. Leave my bike or loose my tickets? I decided to leave my bike at Gare del Est.

Here at train station in Mannheim. No bicycle box but my panniers.
