Today we are leaving London and moving to Paris. The attraction is that we are doing it by train - Eurostar. We were ready to leave the apartment ahead of time. It was good we did since still it is an international train and there are security checks, and passport control and the gates are closed 40 min before departure. The St. Pancreas station is near King Cross where platform 9 3/4 is located. We though we will have time to visit it but we didn't. The luggage is coming all aboard and in each coach there is place for it. We had places in a 4 seats looking at each other and another one near by. The travel is 2 hours more or less. We are travelling 75 meter under the sea level, for around 20 min. Most of the travel is in France. The kids were very busy with the computers so it was very short. Tamar felt some sick from the travel, but Yoram hugged her so all was well.
We arrived to the Paris apartment on time, using the metro and soon Marica and Peter and the kids come to visit us. We ate and finally around 19:30 we went to see the surrounding. Places de Voges is near by and the kids stopped and played on the grass. We wanted to see the Notre Dame that is nearby and we start walking there, not before we said good bye to Marica. We walked across the Siena where there were lot of restaurants and a great atmosphere. We saw Notre Dame from outside and also some people skating.
London Summary
What we didn't do and we should in our next trip:
Tea at Fortnum & Mason
Visiting the roof garden
Visiting Tower of London and London Bridge
Catching Mr. Mime
Exceeding expectations:
Greenwich
Bubble tea
Can be skipped: Quarrels with the other family members and children
The flat we sleep in - from airbnb was smaller then we expected but since it was central we got along with it. (it was not worth the money we paid for it and we should look longer to find something cheaper)
