Europe trip first day - 20/09/08

our first station is Belgium...





















the time travel from Sheffield - London - Dover - Calais - Brugge (a small town of Belgium) use one whole day........
0345 – 0700 Meadowhall Interchange – London Victoria Coach Station
0830 – 1050 London Victoria Coach Station – Dover ferry port
1220 – 0235 Dover – Calais (time fast 1 hour than UK)

0330 – 0340 Calais – Calais Ville
Problem occurs – Lille Frandres to Brugges train is at 2109 reach Brugges at 2227. The last check in time in Brugges is 2230. Michelle is finding dictionary for translator from English to Dutch language in case need to call to hotel and make the changes. Michelle is our language expert in this trip. Maybe we need to take speed train (TGV) from Lille to Brussel and from Brussel to Brugges but this will incurred cost. Things are going to settle. Hope will find solution in the next station.
