Suzy and Darrian's Adventures
Bonjour were in Belgium in the city of Brussells. We decided not to go to Paris yet. After spending the night in Dover - looking at the white cliffs and Dover castle we caught the ferry to Calais in France. The ferry is very large and has heaps to do on board for the 75 minute journey. In Calais we went to the train station to get our tickets and use the euro rail pass for the first time. Very confusing as we had to transfer at Lille Flandres station to continue on another train. Had few translation problems, but we met some other australians also having problems - but we managed to get to Lille. At Lille we encounted 3 different directions from rail staff on correct train to catch. We waited ages and with 20 minutes to go decided to ask a final time for correct train only to be told that it was at another station 5 minutes down the road - for the quick direct line to Brussels. We got the correct train and managed to get to sit in first class as our seats were taken from us. We got into Brussels and found accomadation. We have been walking around the city which has very old buildings and is quite pretty - even went into the Royal Palace. Till our next entry - take care. Darrian and Suzy.
