It being their 4th visit to old London Town, Mr and Ms X had already ticked off almost all of the touristy places that someone visiting the city feels obliged to tick off. These few days would be a chance for them just to wander and explore.

But first to get there. After a few tears at the Viking disembarkation point as they farewelled Ms C, they made their way to Amsterdam Centraal Station (via Schipol Airport where bags were stored) in time to catch a train to Brussels and then board the Eurostar. ​Mr X had wanted to go through the tunnel, something Ms X had previously done. This was to become another place where Mr X slept through a train experience! Ms X reminded him when they eventually arrived that they could have taken a 1 hr cheap flight……. #justsayin
