After a couple of very interesting days in London I took the plane from LCY. The view from the small BA Embraer plane departing the tiny airport was breathtaking. I enjoy these daytime flights. I could even see the Thames Barrier and it’s massive gates. As always, I’m fascinated by the UK and London in particular and can’t wait to come back soon and explore more. There is still so much to see.
It must have been 20 years or more, but I finally got the opportunity to take the Eurostar from Brussels to London again. The two hours were over quick. The seats were comfortable, and the ride was smooth. I couldn’t think of a better way of traveling to London. The Wi-Fi was spotty at best. Even parked in Gare du Midi.
Anyway, I would love to see a train from the south of Germany to London without a change in Paris. The prices could be better too. Most of the time, flying in Europe is cheaper than taking a bullet train. If you have direct connection, the train beats airplane in terms of travel time and comfort by a lot. I can’t wait to see how the European rail system evolves.
