The journey commences

The W bus arrives at the stop as if at my command - that hasn't happened before. Smooth journey to Gare du Midi, plenty of time to get those last minute ID photos (needed for a transit pass in India apparently). Luckily Keren has. a 5euro note for the photo booth, no wait, she has two just as the machine rejects the first note - I can't handle this much excitement!

Now the journey proper - the Eurostar to London, where I'm meeting mummy dear and #1 for an impromptu lunch before the big off. Delays, delays, delays. First trespassers on the line, now apparently signalling problems ahead.. 50minutes late already; this is my longest Eurostar journey yet and I'm still in the tunnel.

Still need to get water purifying tablets; please remind me before I leave. Boots I imagine will stock those. And a few ziplock bags for those bigger items I need to keep dry, like my camera. An elastic band stretched around the lens should do the trick, although a UV filter added as a cap would improve that further - trust me, I forgot.

So I hope you're not too bored yet. Better posts to come no doubt. Stay tuned!

Boring! Add some "color" and pizzzaz to the story to make it more interesting.
