ENGLAND

Today we got up early to go to ENGLAND!!  Isn’t it amazing to be able to travel to another country in just 2 hours!!  We went through customs which is much stricter than France and then boarded the Eurostar.  We arrived in London at 9am and got some tickets to go on a bus tour.  We were guided through the streets with commentary and all really enjoyed all the sights.  We got to Buckingham Palace in time for the Changing Of The Guards ceremony.  It was long and very crowded.  It was certainly an great spectacle to see.  After we went to a typical English restaurant for lunch.  And our “wee” Amy (that’s English for little) had some yummy hot chips.

After lunch, we went to see Harrods.  WOW!  It got dark very early so by 3pm we felt like it was 6.  We went on the bus tour for a bit more and got off to walk to see the BIG BEN.  Then a short boat cruise before we headed back to the train station to go back to Paris.  We got home at midnight, all very tired and needing lots of sleep.
