As part of our travel package we booked via Costco Travel, we got Premier class train tickets on the Chunnel Train/Eurostar from London to Paris. We checked out of The Rubens and hit The Tube from Victoria Station, exiting at King’s Cross/St Pancras Station. After picking up our boarding passes, we passed through the automated gates and then cleared EU customs before heading out to the platforms. We were seated facing each other and settled in for the 2.5 hour or so journey to Paris’ Gare Du Nord. After exiting London proper, the train hit high speeds, whipping through the English countryside. Transiting the Chunnel was quicker than we anticipated, taking about 15 minutes or so. We were served a light lunch as we exited the Chunnel on the French side. Although the dishes were all served cold, they were very tasty and Theresa really liked the bread that came with our meal. After getting our bearings at Gare Du Nord, we hopped on the Paris Metro to the Hotel Baltimore where a comfy fluffy bed awaited us.
