Me and Erika at St Pancras about to board the Eurostar.10:09:38
Chie and I briefly got off the train asthe luggage racks were at the opposite end of the carriage and it was quicker this way. Erika looked a bit surprised.10:25:35
Me and Erika on the Eurostar. Chie had brought Erika's Japanese homework along with her thus why Erika is looking very studious here.12:30:23

I had brought some ESW along with me, but in the end decided to save it for Switzerland.17:12:29
On our late afternoon / early evening stroll around Paris. Alas the weather wasn't really ideal for this sort of thing.17:19:27
The Seine was very high, therefore once again we were unable to take a boat trip along the river. It seems to be becoming a running joke.
