Europe Day 17 & 18 Trains to London & Scotland

We got up early yesterday and took the train to Disney, then boarded a high speed train to Lille Europe, where we transferred to the Eurostar for the trip back to London. The first leg of our journey from took about an hour, the second an hour and a half, but we gained an hour due to the time change, arriving in St Pancras London about 10 am. By the time we made it out of the station, called an Uber, and checked in at our hotel it was 11. Our hotel was on the north side of London, just northwest of Regents Park.

We took the underground to Oxford Street to look at the Disney Store, then headed to Piccadilly Circus to check out the Waterstone book store and eat dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe there (Number 39). 

This morning we were again up early, this time to head to Kings Cross to board a train to Scotland. We probably should have used Uber to get to the train station, since buying three underground tickets cost about the same as the Uber ride would have, and took a little longer. We left most of bags at the hotel in London, which made it easier to get to the train as well as store our luggage on the train. Because we didn’t decide to go to Scotland until we were already in Europe, the seats I purchased weren’t together, although they were in the same car.

The train made a fair number of stops, so took almost 5 hours to arrive in Edinburgh.
