Note from Tory: Chunnel!

Chunnel!

I only have a few minutes before I have to dash off to catch my train to Rome, where I plan to slow my itinerary a bit and linger for three days. Heaven!



This morning I was up with the early birds thanks to the 2 hour time change and hungry again, even after a hearty meal of beef stew and chips and a British ale. After breakfast at my hotel I was off to the Eurostar for my ride on the chunnel! I expected it to be fancier or somehow more historic, but the train was pretty ordinary (except for the going under the English Channel part). I made it an extra special occasion by eating my picnic of goodies, indulging in a glass of red wine, and reading the opening chapters of Dickens Tale of Two Cities, until it put me to sleep :-)



Now I have just a few hours to grab a snack and hurry off for my long haul overnight train to Rome, so I will sign off and send you my love!



Love T
