Traveling Day - Florence, Verona, Paris

Goodbye, Florence!

The plan was to spend half the day sightseeing in Florence, but I couldn't muster enough strength this morning to do so (getting out of bed took a lot of effort).  So my brother and I decided to leave Florence early and go to Verona, and then a few hours later catch a flight to Paris.  Usually it doesn't make sense to travel to another city to catch a flight at a different airport because trains can be fairly expensive (the high speed train from Florence to Verona costs around 30 euros when purchasing it the day of), but due to high seasonal demand for flights from many of the major Italian airports to Paris, it turned out to be cheaper this way.

When we arrived at Verona, we looked throughout the train station, the surrounding area, and the airport for a printing facility so I can print a boarding pass for today's flight (I had printed out all the boarding passes for the Easyjet flights, but had forgot to print this one because it was with Ryanair).  We had no luck finding a printing facility, which turned out to be a huge problem - we found out that Ryanair charges 40 euros per person for printing boarding passes at the airport!  No other airline does this!  We had no choice but to have Ryanair print them off and pay 80 euros.  To add insult to injury, we nearly missed our flight because we had to go to a different part of the airport to get the boarding tickets printed!  Nearly a disaster...

I was still upset about it on the plane, and was hoping the Paris would be kinder.  We arrived at Paris Orly airport at night, took a bus to the city, and then a taxi from the bus' end destination to our hotel.  Our hotel is located in the 19th arrondissement, near Parc de la Villette.  We were both exhausted from our day of traveling and because of our late arrival time, settled for some baguettes for dinner.
