It really was actually pleasant, then a little later onto the Hoppa bus for the great St Pancras station and the Eurostar. Finding our way was easy, but the difficult part was keeping up with Allan as he wasn't going to miss the train for anything!
Eventually we all got to the platform in good time for boarding and on we went to this magical portal that travels under the sea, taking us into another country. Such a comfortable ride with wine, beers and lunch to add to the pleasurable experience.
However, our pleasurable experience soon exploded into a cacophony of people, passageways and getting stuck inside the turnstyle with my suitcase! There I was with Al telling me to go back, Keith telling me to go forwards and my mum telling me to lift my suitcase.....well, did they all think I'd be standing there wrapped up tight in the tiny space if I could actually go anywhere!? Finally I managed to extricate myself from the metal claws and we all continued on our way.
Clearly, the French don't believe in escalators, so we had to lug our luggage up and down innumerable stairs - a couple of people did actually help - until we made our way out of the maze and up to the surface of the road. Finally reaching our hotel we all collapsed, exhausted till dinner and bed. Enough sightseeing for one day that's for sure.
Hello :) Everyone is looking very sprightly, this was clearly the before photo....before the steps/turnstile episode..... Have a wonderful time and keep the photies coming x
