We got up, made breakfast, cleaned up and left to get back on the underground. We needed to get to the St Pancras station to take the Eurostar. This is the train that goes from London to continental Europe with stops in Brussels and Paris. Riding the Eurostar is like air travel with the customs and security checks. Good thing I read the tickets and saw the 30 minute check in requirements. The train was at capacity and travels fast as the GPS on my phone showed we were cruising at 185 mph.
We made it to the other side of the English Channel in about an hour then sped along the rolling hills of the Normandy region of France. Made me wish we had another few days so that we could have stopped and spent some time here.
We picked up our rental car in Brussels and it took over an hour to get out of town. Lots of traffic and construction. Trier ended up being 3.5 hours away, at least the boys were able to nap during the drive early.
