We then set off for more exploring, this place was huge and amazing to say the least, it was nothing like what I expected, every room took my breath away with the features nothing looked the same other than the tunnels, I can now understand if you had no map and was lost the chance’s of getting out would be 1% unless you bumped into other explorers that could speak English, I am not sure how many miles we covered in this day but our legs and back where aching but still we moved on, we come to an area where some of us could make a quick phone call and a break, there was this head stone of the first explorer down here dedicated to him, as he got lost and ran out of light, I cant remember the full story of this that OT explained, he may explain on this report.
We then came to the area with the bones, I was excited about this part in a non strange horrible way, this is what I first knew of this place when my brother showed me the pictures of his explores, the story around it was when the black death hit Paris, they filled all the graveyards up until the bodies where littering the street, this was causing more death to life as the disease was spreading, they decided to use the stone mine to dispose of the bodies, I believe there are tens of thousands bodies resting in peace here, if im incorrect on this please correct me.
By this time it was getting late although it looked the same time through out the trip, it was a good job OT remembered to bring his watch otherwise we wouldn’t even know what day it was never mind what time, we needed to find somewhere to make camp again, after walking around and crawling we where by far drained, when finding our rest area, me goan and Speed decided to go back to the place we all met, as we left resources there, after picking them up we bumped into a party full of French people, they where very nice offering food, drink and smokes, Speed knew one of the guys and when heading back explained to OT who it was, OT and a couple others headed back over as OT has been trying to get in touch with this guy for some time, me and Urban Junkie decided to stay and just chill out and have a chat until we went to bed by this time Fabio was already knocking out ZzzzZZ , when everyone came back and we all slept, loads of drunken French people come walking into our slumber shouting and singing, they where rolling me like I was a joint, but I pretended to sleep hehe
We came to a decision to explore a certain part and head out as we where running out of food and water, this didn’t really bother us newbs as we seen everything really, we done well in 2 days and nights to cover a lot of it, we headed to a part that off the map but OT etc still knew the route of it so it wasn’t a worry that we where going to the unknown, OT, Urban Junkie and Tucker decided to wait with the bags while Speed shown me goan and Fabio the arches and steps.
When we finally got out and away from police danger, the mixed feelings was something else, feeling that I have completed one of my brothers adventures was something i don’t know how to describe but yet the feeling like I was missing the place already, we now had to find a hotel for us to sleep the night, unfortunately me and goan didn’t plan to come out early so never had a lot of money, huge thanks to OT for arranging the hotel and helping us out through this, we got a hotel but was still some distance to cover on underground, when getting sorted at hotel and having a nice warm shower we went for a meal and was planning to meet up with rug, have to say iv never had a salad like it, I am not really a big eater but this went down with ease, had a couple of drinks and we where going to grab some cans and chill out on a hill they all knew about, unfortunately a thunder storm brew in, amazing lightning but then rain spoilt that idea, we then headed to rugs pad where we chilled and talked until heading back to the hotel to sleep.
The next morning we went for breakfast and decided what to do to kill some time until we got on our 7pm train home, it was just a case of walking around really seeing some sites, we got to Paris Nord train station around 2 I think, and decided to wait there till the train was ready for us to board, this was horrible sat on the floor and then going to sleep was not nice, we where all tied and wanting to get home, there was a point me goan and Tucker fell asleep while Urban Junkie had to bare with people walking past thinking we where tramps haha,, eventunatelly our train was ready, after getting gear from lockers and heading to que for train, my pass wouldn’t work, only to realize I booked the train home for another months time, oh shit!, luckily they changed the time and got me on the train home.
This has to be the best explore iv been on, to see this amazing place was one thing but to meet some top lads was another, big thanks to that guys you made an enjoyable trip, one to remember, hope you all enjoyed the read this is Horus, Cata File signing out!
