Channel + Tunnel = Chunnel

According to our itinerary, we were supposed to leave Paris by train to London early in the day. However, there was some sort of train schedule change so we were able to spend most of the day in France.


Since there wasn’t time to go into the city, we visited the Disney Studios park.

We ended up taking the Eurostar train to London in the evening. The train went through the Chunnel which is a long tunnel built under the English Channel. It only took about two and a half hours to travel from Paris to London via this train.

We are staying at the Dorchester Hotel in the Westminster area of London. The Dorchester is affiliated with the Beverly Hills Hotel. It is amazing! It’s a 5-star hotel that is a block and half away from Buckingham Palace. When we checked in, we were given a personal tour of the facilities. The room had fuzzy slippers laid out for us, fuzzy bathrobes and a bathroom that was larger than our cruise ship cabin. We asked for an Internet cable for the room and about 2 minutes later, we heard a doorbell. Our room has a doorbell!

There's no way we would ever stay at a place like this without using our Disney Vacation Club (timeshare) points.

We are pretty tired & are planning to get up early & go on some sort of city tour tomorrow.
