Eurostar twice in a month. Gratis. Nice...

In all the years that Waterloo was London's Eurostar terminal I caught the cross-Channel train from there a grand total of ZERO times.  Shame really as Waterloo's my 'local' London station, it's where trains from my town terminate - with the fast services whisking me there in as little as 40 minutes.

Now, in just a matter of a few weeks I've been on two return trips on the Eurostar from their new location, St Pancras International.  The first one was last month to Brussels courtesy of Nokia WOM World and the latest, Paris this past weekend, courtesy of Eurostar's Little Break, Big Difference (more on that in a future post).

St Pancras is a far nicer station than Waterloo - but it's a bit of a pain to get to for those of us travelling from towns south west of London.  It doesn't help that the Tube's a little on the confusing side to say the least (but then I'm easily confused!)  Anyway, back to the trips themselves...

Brussels had been the shortest time I'd ever spent in a foreign country, at barely 24 hours.  Well, that was until last Saturday - I went to Paris for the day.  Yes, the DAY!  Which is, when you think about it, y'know, kinda nuts!  The Eurostar does indeed make a big difference - can you imagine attempting the same by plane or by ferry and coach?

I hate long, boring, wordy posts - so I'll leave this one as it is.  I'll attempt to humourously go into more detail in a future post - that is, of course, if I can be arsed.  Anyway, I'll leave you with a bunch of pictures taken of y'know, stuff in Paris.  All shot on a Samsung i8910 - making the most of that 8 MP camera it sports.
