(DAY 10) - 14/4 Off to Paris

krystle & cheryl:

Woke up in the early afternoon, ate some breakfast and then headed out to Balham. Auntie Mary wanted to show us an alternative route to come back in case if there was a strike in the tube stations.

Went to a Chinese Oriental Supermarket. We were so happy to see Yeo's drinks there and chinese food! We bought vitasoy and american ginseng and lychee drink! So happy drinking our drinks, then headed back home for lunch & dinner.

We packed our bags and headed to Balham station to take the rail to Victoria Station. We bought baguettes from UpperCrust to satisfy our hunger on the bus. Then went to Boots to walk around and got some lotion. Walked to the coach station to catch the bus to Paris. Long ride about 9 hours.

The coach was quite empty but the seats were not very comfortable to sleep. So we lie around stucking our legs on other seats too. Around 1am , we reach Dover ( sth like woodlands checkpoint) but in this case its much cooler. After the inspector came up to check our passports, the bus went up the ferry!!

There were many huge ferries shuttling between England and France. So many coaches and cars boarded the ferry too. We could get down, and the ferry was like a cruise! there were lounges, foodcourt, jackpot slots room, arcade and stuff. But we were too tired to enjoy all this, after all its 3am. Reach france port at 5am then we boarded the bus back again and off to Paris!
