Yesterday, I departed Paris on the Eurostar Train or the "Chunnel" as locals like to call it, to travel to London for my Blogtour London Event. The chunnel was uber chic! Such easy travel. The only word of caution, if you take the train is to watch for the pickpockets in the terminal. Often they act as people who want to petition you. The gig is while they petition, their accomplice is picking your pocket. If they ask if you speak English, shake your head "no". Don't speak or you will give yourself away. Once you motion no, they leave you alone because they know you are on to them. Once I got past them, I had to ride the elevator upstairs to find the check in point for Eurostar to London. It was quite easy to find, but what my concierge didn't tell me what to be prepared to fill out the necessary paperwork complete with your travel plans and address for your stay where you are going. It's a little awkward when you are not only watching your bags, but digging in your tote to find address, etc.
If you travel by train in Europe, have that info handy so you don't waste time. I would also recommend leaving your hotel at least 30 -45 minutes ahead of what the concierge suggests. They are accustom to the process, so they don't allow for those of us who aren't. I had just enough time to get to my terminal and board. Click title to continue!
