- Eurostar to Paris, arrived around 11:00
- Dropped off bags in baggage locker
- Saw a cool mosaic water fountain which was like raised in a conical slope so the water all ran down to the edge without making a pool
- Biked around a bunch on the poor condition city bikes
- Paris smells less bad than I remember but like oh my god all the public toilets were actually unusable - just covered in shit
- Saw some random funky decorated arch (no not the Arc de Triomphe)
- Got amazing vegan ice cream (pear and hazelnut for me) from La Créma
- Ate it in Jardin de Luxembourg, and a friend fed some bean snacks to a pigeon
- Random sandwich from supermarket (Monoprix) for lunch. Supermarket was interesting because it had like a korean food stall thing in there, closest analog is M&S
- Some of us swam in the Seine (not me), there were misters (thank you whichever city official decided to install those), and also water dispenser sized suncream dispensers with automatic dispensing!
- Metro to paris est and train to Karlsruhe
- Train security is so wacky they have some random guys not in uniform except some armbands check if there are any unattended bags by asking the whole carriage whose bag it is for each bag. Also of course train stopped for a vague passport check (really just to see we had one) at the border
