Farewell England, Bonjour Francais- Monday 3rd

Well, our Eurail tickets came through this morning so we have decided to head to France tomorrow. We have just booked a bus down to Dover, so I will be able to see some English countryside and then get a ferry across English channel to Calais. We have no other plans but have decided to take a tent with us so will probably camp in Calais (French coast)tomorrow night.. then who knows! The Eurail covers pretty much all of Europe, if we dont check out Belgium we may head into Paris then to Spain and back through France to Italy and Greece then up to Germany for Beerfest. Today we had our last day in London, saw the British Museum (lots of mummies, Greek/ Roman sculptures), the National Gallery with so many famous artworks (Nicki I was thinking what i would bid on in "Masterpiece"; and Dad/ Mum-saw the original Van Gogh sunflowers i have been looking at forever in dining room), and we went to Covent Garden markets- but spent zero waiting for cheap Asian markets! So have had a great time here, have seen so much of London, we thought we had the whole train system worked out, but today some lines were on strike so spent hours on random buses (at one stage pulled into bus depot- didnt realise we were only ppl left on bus -oops and driver was angry!). Oh, I finally saw squirrels today, very cute. I am not sure when I will be able to write next, maybe in a camping ground in next couple of days or when in Paris, so dont worry if a while. SO exctied now!!!! Lots of hugs and kisses
