Oh my…, I think I need another half a year to complete writing whole of my travelogue in Europe travel last Spring. After 6 months, I have just posted about my London travel and am only now starting my writing about Paris travel! There were so much other commitments as well as other emergency subjects to blog about during this period to have hindered the progress of my travelogue in Europe. Fortunately, it is progressing, though slowly. I wrapped up my London travelogue in last October. Within this 2 month period, I did also blog about few Paris attractions , such as the Eiffel Tower , Sacred Coeur Cathedral , The Louvre and also The Notre Dame cathedral . Now let’s continue my Europe travel experience in Paris… I talked about how I booked the Eurostar train tickets online before reaching Europe and how I collected our tickets in St. Pancras station in London. On the departure date in the morning, we left our hostel in London with reasonably good memory, and walked to St. Pancras station. We reached the station by 8:30AM to check in. ( Tips: How could we know we would reach the station within 15 minutes by walking? Try the route before that! ) Taking Eurostar train as a non-European traveler would need to check in 30 minutes minimum before departure, just like how we did in airport check-in counter. After checking in, we stayed in the departure hall and waited to be called upon for boarding. Hmm… quite a process, unlike the much easier and smoother boarding process we experience in Thalys train ride from Paris to Amsterdam
