Day 5 - London/Ypres

Farewell London :(

Today was our last morning in London. We packed, cleaned our rooms and checked out before dragging our bags to the closest train station. This proved interesting for those who shopped up a storm yesterday. We caught the train to St Pancras International where we boarded the Eurostar to Calais. The trip under the English Chanel was a lot quicker than our itinerary indicated so we were not exactly prepared for our stop. There was a quick rush to gather all our people and belongings, but we all made it off safe and sound. We were so quick crossing the Chanel that we had to wait 45 minutes for our bus to arrive!!!

Our bus drove us from Calais in France all the way to Ieper (Ypres) in Belgium. On the way we stopped at Hill 60 to visit the memorial. After checking in at our accommodation, we took a walk into the town center for dinner before returning to our accommodation for an early night.
