      Up early to get to the Channel Tunnel.  What a sky….

                Crossing the Channel in the Tunnel, means quite a lot of this:

                    What? is that a train for vehicles? I've never seen that before.

                        Yes.  For some reasons I can't fathom.  It was decided that when they built the tunnel, it would not be for driving through.  You have to drive onto a train and sit like a stuffed parrot for 40 minutes or so.  I am sure there are longer tunnels in the world that one can drive through.  The infrastructure on the Channel Tunnel is immense, mainly because of the bloody trains….

                            Are there bathrooms at all on those trains? or snack stations? Also, if one were to leave their car running, wouldn't that be dangerous?  :o

                                We went over to Belgium earlier in the year and I was amazed by the train as well, it's pretty cool for the uninitiated. I guess it cuts down on major delays by avoiding car crashes, might be their reasoning?
                                Have a good trip!

                                deadendpro; there's bathrooms that you can get to at the end of each carriage, and cars must be turned off for the trip.

                                  I thought it was to stop the driving on the wrong side of the road confusion. I often (sometimes) dream about arranging an 'every body all out, now on 3, you go left, I go right, we criss-cross and hey, we're now on the other side of the road'.

                                          I can happily report that I did a few Trippels and some Orval last night.  My starter for dinner was pigs cheek, I knew Seul would approve… :o :o

                                            I unfortunately shan't be doing any black witchery, ancient rites or pagan idolatry with the beastly Padmores as I am not under the spell of the moon. I have to work.

                                            Also: Orval and pig cheeks? Totally making do for things I don't…
