Leaving London

After three weeks of saying goodbyes to all our amazing London friends
and tons of boxes and packing

we are finally on our way!

We have hopefully two months before Randy starts his new job in DC and figured there is no better place to spend it than the Mediterranean in summer! One month in Italy and one month in Greece, first stop Bologna.
Since we have loads of time we decided to start our trip with a train down to Italy. We took the Eurostar to Paris and with only an hour in between our trains we took a quick taxi from Gare du Nord to Paris Bercy train station and waited on a long line to get our tickets. Well Randy waited and I guarded our luggage- a.k.a.- sat down. About 10 minutes before our train was expected to leave we heard an announcement that our train is going to be delayed for three hours due to a fire in a tunnel in Switzerland. So three hours later we were finally really on our way.

Our two person sleeper was sospacious we hardly got in each others way. We were scheduled to have dinner on the restaurant car at 11 pm but we fell asleep at 10:30, knowing that we would wake up and be in Italia!!!
