OK!! If you happen to be living in London or are in London for holidays and want to travel to Paris, you can do it really cheaply. Go to
lastminute.com and search for package deals of travel (by
Eurostar) and accommodation (choose your own hotel) in Paris.
We got a DAMN good deal, £196 for 3 days/2 nights in Paris!! That's DAMN value i think.....
So you get to travel on Eurostar, it takes 2 hours 15 minutes to get you from
London's St Pancreas Station (a really nice transformed cathedral of some sorts) to Paris Gare Du Nord (probably North railway station in French i think)
the nice skylight of London's St Pancreas Station
Lookout for your coach number, it's on the floor, don't miss it
don't get on the wrong trains, make sure it's the Eurostar....well, you must pass through Immigration first, so definitely won't be on the wrong platform la
remember to pack your own breakfast/lunch or nuttella bread, bananas and crisps (British equivalent of potato chips) and a bottle of ribena. Food on the train is quite ex....and it's in €
you know you've reach Paris once you peek outside and see loads and loads of graffitti on any available spaces on the walls by the rail tracks....or if you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of Sacre Coeur
and you see somemore Eurostar trains going in the opposite direction
and come to to realise that EVERYTHING is in French and VERY LITTLE english translation!!To be continued.....
tomorrow!!
