Lille to London
Spent today travelling to London and I am exhausted.
Got up a little after 9 today and went exploring Lille and I loved it. After wandering around for 3 hours I jumped on a train to Calais at 2 PM.
I arrived in Calais around 3:30 PM. Took a bus to the port and got on a Ferry that left a little after 5 PM. Arrived in Dover around 6PM (gained an hour) and took a bus to the train, which got me in to London at 9PM.
That's right, 8 hours of travelling. Seeing the English Channel was cool, but I understand now why more people don't make that voyage. The Eurostar would have taken a little over an hour.
Good to hang out with Sara and Jason catching up for a couple of hours and I'll be seeing them for the rest of the week.
Off to bed in a couple... ¶ 11:42 PM
