Eurostar Station

Time to bid London farewell after our whirlwind visit. It has been quite a first week and a bit for us. We are off to Paris on the Eurostar and then on to Chartres a town dating from the middle ages not far from there. From our Hervey Bay home to bustling Brooklyn with its tree lined streets and Brownstones to the amazing mix of the super modern and the grand old buildings of London and now to the cobbled streets and winding lanes of old Chartres - that's quite a mix of cultures and environments. It will be nice to just settle into France for a couple of weeks.
We were awarded a special travellers' award today for smooth connections. We got into Gare du Nord on the Eurostar at 11:50 and managed to get metro thickets, find the right train, get to Montpernasse station and catch a 1:06 train to Chartres!Read more
