Knocked out with how clean,quiet and efficient our rail journey into St Pancras was. Public transport can be good. The waiting around in St Pancras was ok with plenty of support available.

The journey on Eurostar again was efficient. Interesting to be sharing our carriage with such a variety of international folk. Arrived on time but queued for over half an hour for a taxi in Paris

The little hotel near Monmatre is cosy with unusually, single beds! We walked up to Sacre Coeur. The view over Paris worth the toil. Lot of milling around in the cold wind. Out for food soon, walked twice my normal max of two miles. All good- Milan tomorrow.
