After breakfast, the kids and my Missus went to Waterstones at Oxford Street. We left London at 11 am and luckily no traffic jam along the way. It’s Easter Monday so the roads were a bit quiet. It took us 1.5 hours from Central London to reach Folkestone but we have to wait 45 minutes for our EuroTunnel train. Actually we could hop onto the train straight away but I guess the tunnel operator also wanted people to wait and stop over at the duty free shops and spend some money; otherwise these shops would have run out of business in no time. There’s an MPH store in there, so yet another load of books to buy.
Here’s a photo showing cars lining up to enter the train and the view inside the train. While inside, you would just stay in your car while the train run its course. The whole trip normally takes 20 minutes to cross the English Channel. Once on the other side, it was another 3 hours to reach home. All in all it took us 6 hours from Central London to reach Holland – not bad.
