Our 40^th Wedding Anniversary.

Weather was a little drizzly and a much cooler 17°.

After breakfast we completed out packing and prepared to say farewell to Le Tuileries and head for London for the next part of our grand adventure.

Jim & Eileen drove us to Laval railway station where we said goodbye and boarded the 11:15am train back to Paris. Arrived in Paris on time at 1:00pm. We had arranged a transfer from Mont Parnasse station to Gare du Nord station. It was a car free day in Paris today but our hire car managed to pick us up from one train and get us to Gare du Nord on time.

We cleared both French & British customs in Paris and boarded the train at 3:15pm. Got some lunch on board and spent the 2 hour trip updating the blog as there has not been time over the last 5 days to do it.

The  Eurostat arrived in at  London St Pancras station right on time at 4:30pm London time. Got a London cab (which all 4 of us plus luggage fitted in) to The Arbor Hotel in Lancaster Gate where we will be based for the next 7 nights. Checked into the hotel and then went to a local pub for diner to celebrate out wedding anniversary with Heather & Michael.

It is great to be back in London. It feels like home and is our favorite city outside home.
