Thursday 29th July
Sat on the comfiest train in the world - the Thalys from Paris to Amsterdam Centraal. We were the first people in our carriage and our first thoughts were 'This is it, we've made it, we're famous!' and then 'If this is 2nd class, what's 1st class like??!' The seats are huge, red and all cushioned. We just passed into Belgium, with everyone getting texts at the same time from their phone companies. Another two and a bit hours and then the Amsterdam adventure starts!
But back to yesterday and the surreal land of Disney.
We were on a train there at 8am, in the ticket queue by 9am and waiting for the park to open at 10am. We started off on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, then went round the rest of the park, including a terrifying experience on the Thunder Mountain rollercoaster. We met Pluto walking around and then stood in shock at the huge queues to meet the princesses Belle and Cinderella. We left at 5:30pm after meeting Jack Sparrow - a fitting end to a brilliant but surreal day!
We packed all our stuff back into our rucksacks and found the train to get on this morning without too much trouble. Bring on Amsterdam!
Stride like the rooster!
