Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Buntingford we go!

It was a quick day in Paris today and a bit of a sad one. Today was the end of our European adventure to a degree. We started off in Paris 7 weeks ago, and now, here we are, in Paris heading back to the UK. It’s nice that we were able to do a complete circle and start and finish in Paris, makes for a nice completion we feel. We’ve had an amazing time in Europe, taking in many sights, meeting many lovely and not so lovely people, seeing cities, taking in history, stories and facts, it’s been amazing.

As we were leaving at about 3pm we didn’t really have much of a day to play with, so we just took a leisurely breakfast at a very nice little café close to the hostel. We relaxed with our hot drinks, our bread and croissants, our jams etc, just took it easy and then skyped home for a chat with the family. Before we knew it, it was time to get going and head back to the hostel to pick up the bags and head to the train station.

The Eurostar was quick and painless (as we expected) but we had to laugh and at the same time roll our eyes, as we left Paris with beautiful blue sky and a beating heat… and as we came into the UK were met with grey clouds and pouring rain. It is England after all. Digging about at the bottom of our bags we were able to find our rain jackets and after donning these made our way to the next train which would take us to Sue and Patrick’s. It was so nice to see these guys again; we’ve really missed our UK family! We spent a long time catching up and filling each other in with all the news and goings on over the past 7 weeks or so, it was just lovely to see them again! A lovely home made meal completed the lovely evening and soon after that it was into bed for everyone.
