Saturday in Lille
Saturday 15th April 2017
Daytime in Lille before getting an early evening Eurostar back to London. Visited a market and the Palais des Beaux Arts in the morning, had "Un Welsh" (yes, Welsh Rarebit is a thing in France!) for lunch, then visited Meert and the Lego store to buy things to eat and do on the train back to London.

The view over breakfast was not particularly inspiring.

Nice murals on the wall of Lille Europe station going down to the Metro.

Erika and Chie at the market at Place Sebastopole.

Me and Erika in the museum cafe. I rather like this picture.

12:56:25
Chie and Erika going down to the loos! Quite a dramatic staircase.

13:50:27
Chie and Erika outside the place where we had lunch. Unfortunately my phone camera partly mangled this one.

13:50:58
My lunch - "Un Welsh" - essentially a bowl of melted cheese, with a fried egg on top. And chips. At least they didn't go overboard on the salad dressing.

14:27:44
Me having a coffee at the end of lunch and Erika drinking some water.

In the Eurostar departure lounge now - we were greeted by the Easter bunny!

17:50:08
Erika playing with the Lego we bought from the Lego shop on the Eurostar.

Our dinner on the Eurostar. It was pretty naff to be honest, I hardly ate any of mine. Why, in 2017, is quiche still a thing? Surely culinary science has moved on?
