French Trains are Tricky

So apparently you need reservations to ride high speed trains and main lines. Since we didn't know, we are now stuck on an incredibley slow train headed for Paris. Oh and our situation wasn't helped by the fact that our phone was an hour off local time, meaning we slept in until 8 instead of 7. Once we get to Paris we don't know what to do. We were supposed to be in Nimes tonight, but that probably isn't going to happen. That means we lose 32euro on the hostel we booked, since we wouldve had to cancel at 6pm last night.Maybe we'll get to Nimes, maybe not. Maybe we'Ll do Normandy instead. We're bummed but trying to keep our hopes up.
