For our last day in Paris, we got up at 5 am and headed out by bus to the Gare du Nord. Our train was waiting for us so we loaded all our luggage ( 50 large suitcases and lots of backpacks and handbags). We had a smooth 2 and 1/2 hour ride from Paris, under the English Channel to London.
We pulled into St. Pancras station and unloaded all our bags. At that point we said good-by to Mamie and Anna Maria. They met their friends and will be staying with them until Saturday. We miss them!
A bus took us immediately on a tour of London. The guide was funny and personable. He explained much of the history of the city. Why is it so modern with large glass buildings? Because of the burning and the bombings. ( Your students can explain).
We were quite glad to get to our hotel - the English version of Days Inn. It is very centrally located and it was easy to find lunch nearby. Francy took us on a long walk which included 2 stops on the Underground until we got to dinner. After dinner we were so tired that most of us came back to the hotel for a good night's sleep. Doug and Emily went to the London Eye. We'll find out tomorrow how that went.
G'night, mates!
