Tuesday 4 Sept 2018 – Moreton-in-Marsh to Orleans

We took the early train to London Paddington then Peter treated to the taxi we needed to get to St Pancres for the Eurostar TGV through the chunnel (at 180 MPH in some parts) to Paris. Then we use the Metro to transfer to Austerlitz for our train to Orleans. A long day.

After checking in at our hotel, The Empreinte on the Loire, we roamed the around the city center and had Thai for dinner. 

It is a little bit of a shock switching from easy English to trying to communicate in broken (at best)French and English. If I relax and take it as easily as they do we get by - just can't get into any depth.
