After 2 months of anticipation for my trip to Europe Im here. Woot. The bike drop-off was painless in Toronto. Sign a few papers disconnect the battery and lock a few items into my hard case and I left it standing there in the cargo hanger. One day later I fly to Paris spend way to much time finding a ride over to the cargo area. My French is all but non existent so I had to muddle my way thru but once I got over to Fret 6 or Cargo area 6 and found Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) building. Building B6 is what I had to find. I was off and walking literally due to my cab driver not knowing jack shit about the Cargo side of the house at CDG. I think most of them only know Paris and back to the airport routes. Of course he did not have any change so I told him to find some and after walking around for 20 min I told him I would give him 10euro and 10 US. He jumped at it I think I wore him out and he knew I had all day so WTF did I care? I'll play your silly games. lol I win!

So.. WFS had my paperwork and gave me a pile of it to take over to customs at the next building over. So off I went walk right in no line. Nice French lady helps me and hooks me up with 60days worth of EU travel time and tells me if I need more just find a local customs office in the EU and they can extend it. Sweet back over to WFS (B6) and wait for 45 min to get my bike after paying 85euro for airport tax. Looked like a coffee fund to me but what do I care its all the price of doing business. 20 minutes later out comes the bike tied to a pallet. The fork lift operator puts it out of the way in the loading dock area so I can take my time to unload inspect and let the bike back up.
30 min later I was rolling down the loading ramp and off to the Hotel.

Today looks to be a nice ride into Paris for some photos then Im off for North Europe tagging.
