On the train again. After a smooth, but very thorough check-in at the Pancras International railway station, I got on the Eurostar train to Brussels. The green fields and sheep of England were soon left behind, we spent just, like, 20 minutes in a tunnel and here I am now, racing through the French countryside. It looks pretty similar, except the houses might have a little more color in them and there is definitely more trees outside my window.
The visit to London was brief, but still, I managed to do quite a lot. A pub visit on Saturday night with Maija, more than five hours in Kew Gardens, a fika with Marie (another friend who is currently living in London) and then a superb Indian restaurant dinner with Maija and her brother Jaakko and a nightcap at the local pub.
Now, I’m off to Amsterdam. I’ll have to catch up on my guidebook reading.
