Ahh... Europe by Train. London to Paris in three hours. A nice breakfast with French pastries and black currant preserves. Much quieter than air travel. Very nice. What more could you ask for?
Today we travel from London to Nice. First the Eurostar from Waterloo station via the Channel Tunnel or “Chunnel” Paris. Once there we need to change to another trainstation to catch the TGV south to Nice. Most of the day will be on the train.
The First Class coach -- that is what they call each car -- is pretty empty from London to Paris, just a couple of business travelers working on a power-point. Kathy is reading a F1 magazine we purchased at Waterloo along with a Red-Bull for me and a couple of packets of crisps. We tried to spend all our Pounds but still ended up with a pocket full of coins.
The TGV or Bullet train from Paris to Nice is much more crowded.
