London to Brussels

---

Arrived in Victoria Coach Station after a surprisingly comfy bus trip down from Edinburgh - thanks to some crazy Geordie drivers who overtook everything in sight we arrived early (6am!). Bleary eyed we make our way to Waterloo and note worryingly our shoulders are already aching from the packs...

Met Claire at the unnaturally early hour of 8am (Sunday!) and spent a lovely morning chatting, drinking coffee and buying last minute provisions. Eurostar trip to Brussels uneventful and we hope the rest of the train journeys will continue like this. Arrived at our gorgeous Plaza Hotel (5*!) and took full advantage of our luxurious surroundings including the complimentary glass of champagne - off for a quick meal and then to bed early as we were exhausted. It all starts properly soon.....we'l update as often as we can but forgive us if we miss a few days.
