Vacations at Paris and Brussels Part 1 - The plannig So, finally I've decided to write my first notebook entry, please your help with corrections. I'm from Colombia and a week ago my wife and I took a two weeks vacation at Paris and Brussels. We started preparing the trip months ago, planning where to sleep at each city, so we went to trip advisor and we got two apartments with good prices. The deal for the apartment in Brussels was a total payment at the reservation moment, for the Paris apartment the deal was made with an initial partial payment and a second payment near the date of the travel. For the Paris apartment the platform didn't allow us to make the second payment, and then we face the problem of dealingwith a remote support service without any solution to the problem and we lost the reservation, and due the conditions of the agreement the money of the first payment. In that situation we decided to make a second reservation at a hotel in Montmartre zone. For the reservation at Brussels the counterparty answer with the indication abut how to proceed, but I didn't understand well and I didn't ask for more information. In addition to the housing deals, we bought the round trip tickets Bogotá - Paris - Bogotá without any news to report. We decided to buy the other services when we arrive with more knowledge about the situation. The expected itinerary was to arrive to Charles de Gaulle airport at Paris and immediately travel Brussels in order to visit Brussels, Bruges, Gent, Amsterdam and Antwerp, returning to Paris and staying in Paris the rest of the travel. I knew nothing of the French language so I started studying a few with duolinguo App.
