Eurostar, high speed train to London

Saturday 27 October 2007.
Finally we leave Paris for London. What I dreaded was taking our luggage onto the Paris Metro, changing trains and all just to get to Gare Du Nord station to get on the Eurostar. We had bought the tickets in Singapore. Boy, were they expensive. But we were damn lucky as the first class tickets were just a few dollars more than the economy ones. So we jumped at the opportunity!!!

It was an experience I guess. But I think we were so used to trains already. But we did get a meal, wine and champagne, which was nice, though I would not rave about the food. We were watching "High School Musical" all the way from Paris to London Waterloo Station. The whole trip only took 2 hrs 15 min.
