This morning we got up really early and took a taxi to the train station. This time the driver charged us even more because he was not told by the hotel that we were only going a short distance. Anyway, we found our TGV train to Paris and got on board. The TGV train was super fast and super smooth. We arrived in Paris right on time and hopped into a taxi to get to another train station across Paris.

We got to the next train station and found our next TGV train. It also left on time, but on the way, we were diverted to different destination train station because there were students protesting at the station where we needed to catch our third train. It worked out OK though, because we ended up making it to Calais on time to catch our ferry to Dover, England.

We bought our tickets on the SeaFrance ferry, the newest and biggest ferry in their fleet. We had a fun trip across the English Channel and arrived at Dover where I saw big white cliffs as we approached the harbor. We then got in another taxi that drove us to Canterbury where my dad had gone to University. We checked into our hotel, called the Pilgrim’s Hotel, had dinner and fell asleep. It was a long, long day of traveling.
