This morning at 6am we dragged our butts out of bed and down a block to meet up with our contiki tour group. They weighed our bags, checked our passports and we were finally off on our tour!!!!
On the bus our tour director Mike told us what was in store for us, which only made us more excited. We also got to chat with some of the other people on the tour. It seems like half the people on our tour are from australia, theres also a few japanese people and one american. The american guy and us had fun comparing english with the aussies and found some interesting differences, mostly in pronounciation, so we cant really explain. Oragano and tomato were proncounced differently, but not potato. Cherios are also mini hotdogs. Apparently cilantro has a another too.
We travelled for about 2 hours until we reached the white cliffs of dover, which really are beautiful. They are on the coast of the english channel and we transferred onto a huge ferry as soon as we got there. It is beautiful standing on the deck on the ferry, but it is sooo foggy, we can hardly see anything. The boat has everything on it! There is a food court, a bar, a few game rooms, a duty free perfume/ makeup/alchohol store and many comfy chairs. Stella artois was 14pounds for a 24. Beer is actually cheaper than water.
Another hour or so on the ferry and then it'll be back on the bus and on our way to Paris!! We can't wait, eiffel tour and moulin rouge will both be conquered today. Kirsten is also unbelievably excited for the wine, cheese and dinner we are going to have.
Goodbye England, Bonjour France.
