London second day


We decided to take a few rides on the double decker buses to see some more of London.We wanted to go over the thames but the bus we caught went in the opposite direction to what we thought so we got off and got another one that wentover the bridge but then went in the direction away from the tower bridge so we deciede to get off again and caught the train to what we thought was the tower bridge but ended upo being London bridge.We walked over it and saw the tower bridge instead then decided to do some shopping in Oxford street.Carlie got some pearl earrings and Joel got a vest with a hood. We then caught the bus back to paddinton to have lunch at a small cafe with the soccer playing on the TV.The soccer plays in the daytime here!! Portugal was playing a north Korea .We picked up our bags and headed for Pancres Staion to catch the Eurosatar to Paris.The timetable said it left at 3 and arrived at 6 so we were expecting a 3 hr journey and were surpised when we arrived a hour early in Paris as we were finishing tea. We didnt even notice that we had gone under the sea until jim noticed the cars were driving on the right hand side and we realised we were already in France. We headed for our hotel which was a bit of a downer not very nice...reminds us of the last time we were in Paris.The sun did not go down till after 9pm.
