Eurostar

Today we caught the Eurostar to Brussels. This is the way to travel. We walked our bags across to St Pancras and checked in, a painless process that takes about 10 minutes. We've now left the UK and will be able to just step off the train with no immigration queues.

I am writing this while sitting on the train. We have our GPS unit on, and so far it has registered a top speed of 303km/h.

It's a beautiful sunny day here in France and the fields are lush green. The cute little French farmhouses shine in the morning sun. Am I missing being at work? No!!!

If you'd done the same in the UK there'd be a decimal point between the 9 and the 8.

Your travels sound fantastic guys, you'll never want to go back to work ever again. I'm very, very jealous :)

Well if the train had been in New Zealand it would only be going at 2.98km an hour, we do real slow downunder :o)
