Goodbye England, on the ferry to France

We just started our 27 day tour of Europe, and arrived in France after taking the ferry to Calais France.

We are out tonight to go to a Paris restaurant and see a Paris show, not the Moulin Rouge as that has now become very Americanized, this is another one that the tour guide says is much better.

It looks like alot of things that most people would normally line up for are pre-booked so we can skip the queues and save time - awesome! We get a personal guided Louvre tour tomorrow morning, I am looking forward to it.

The National Gallery in London was good but it wont hold a candle to the Louvre, obviously 1 1/2 hours is a short tour of it, but we will see the highlights - I will definitely be back someday to do a proper look at it.

The ferry ride to France was good, its amazing how many people they ferry over in one ferry, trucks, buses and carss.

We saw a few TGV fast trains next to the main freeway, they reminded me of the Shinkansen from Japan, they can go similar speeds - even when the bus was doing 100Kph, they still streak past us at crazy speeds.
