Hi Guys, been traveling the last 2 weeks, Seville,Granada,Madrid.
Can't fly due to anx., so it was all by train !
First stage, Essex to St.Pancras for the Eurostar.
I can even get anx. on a Train so there was going to be dodgy moments all through my travels.
Clutching my little yellow Valium friends in my sweaty palms I boarded the train, quickly got up and walked to the door to look out and reassure myself I was not trapped or confined.
It only takes 2hours 15mins St.Pancras-Paris.
Arrived feeling ok and had the rest of the afternoon to explore Paris.
Weather was good so had a boat trip on the River, a great way to see the sights like Notre Dame.
Went to the Eiffel Tower, stood at the bottom looking up.
Said to my partner, "not sure I can go to the top":unsure:
We decided to get the tickets, went to level 1&2, feeling fine, looked up and thought, sod it I'm gonna do this !
Went to the very top and felt great, chuffed with myself.:yahoo:
Next morning early start to catch the overnighter Paris-Madrid... so far so good:) ....... more to follow
