13 June - Chunnel!!!

I planned an ambitious day:

4:30 alarm clock

4:35 dressing, brushing teeth, waking kids

4:40 dressing kids

4:45 pulling away from the cottage

6:15 returning car at Heathrow

7:20 on the tube to King's Cross Station

8:20 at St. Pancras checking in for Eurostar

8:40 on the train - survived the Chunnel!

12:30 (lost an hour) arrived at Disneyland Paris

12:45 renting car at train station, getting cash, having lunch

2:00 looking for the car

2:15 still looking for the car - really

2:30 finally finding the car

Note to Frenchmen: dark grey that looks black needs more description than "grey." Only by trying the key in various vans did we locate ours!

2:45 on the road the wrong way (tired!)

3:00 on the way to Chenonceaux

5:30 checked into Relais Chenonceaux

7:00 dinner

8:00 bed



A full day of travel. At least we got to compare the English and French Countrysides in one day. (IMHO - England is MUCH prettier!)
