The journey is going well so far. See here and here for first impressions. We left Waterloo on time at 12:09 and reached Ashford (Our only other UK stop) just under 50 minutes later. Having loosened us up with free champagne, the staff are now serving lunch: a light Thai chicken salad followed by a supreme of salmon, then gateaux & cream.
13:09 (BST) Into the tunnel.
13:30 BST/14:30 CET emerge in France.
Lunch is proving to be a nicely relaxed affair: not at all rushed - which makes a nice change from flying (but then, I've never flown 1st Class.)
The French countryside looks little different from Kent: low green rolling hills with the occasional patch of bright yellow rape seed. The only thing that gives it away are the different shaped electricity pylons.
