A Journey Under
Recently, my wife and I came upon an advertisement in a travel magazine for an international exchange programme promising «the chance of a lifetime». Not one to let such an intriguing opportunity pass me by. but a bit hesitant about taking such a leap into the unknown. I did some research and discovered that the programme involved something called house-swapping.
After much discussion, my family and I decided to. as they say, go for it. Consequently, we were soon setting off for a holiday in the Peak District of England while our exchange partners wore settling down for their vacation in our flat back home in Mt Vernon. Washington. The exchange was fa a month and the time passed quickly. To end our time away on a high note, we decided to travel to Paris via the engineering marvel known as the Channel Tunnel.
Being on a fairly tight budget, we opted fa a package deal which included round trip tickets on the Eurostar passenger train, five nights in a three-star hotel in Paris, Metro passes and unlimited use of the Paris bus 15 system. When the package still hadh1 arrived after a week, I began to think that perhaps our trip hadn’t been such a good idea after al. Maybe it was a sign that we shouldn’t go.
The tickets and vouchers eventually arrived and I scolded myself fa having had such silly thoughts. On the day of departure, with plenty of time to spare, my two teenage children, my wife and I stood waiting eagerly on the platform at St Pancras Station. At exactly 7.57 am. wo boarded our train and began our journey through the picturesque county of Kent. About half an hour into our journey, an announcement, in both English and French, informed us that we were about to enter the Channel Tunnel.
The Eurostar advents had boasted proudly about tie ‘Chunnel’ engineering feat and the convenience it offered to those traveling between England and the Continent. They had spoken highly of the «lack of rough seas» and to me, a person who gets seasick very easily, the was a major selling point. When all is said and done, however. I must admit that there were moments when I felt quite nervous about traveling 50 metres below the bottom of the English Channel
Inside the tunnel itself, there really wasn’t much to grab my attention — no posters or other artwork — so I busied myself studying the occupants of cur carnage. Some calmly road novels a newspapers; others quietly looked through business reports and notes. I quickly realized, however, that most of my fellow passengers were like my family in that they looked excited and very happy to be enjoying such a novel travel experience.
Our underwater journey ended as quickly as it had begun. All of a sudden, wo left the darkness of the tunnel behind and nosed out into the light of the pleasant French morning. The tracks being well-built wo quickly accelerated to 300 kph, the speed of a Boeing 747 al takeoff. We arrived in Paris’s busy city centre a mere 2 hours after leaving London. That journey, and indeed the whole time that we spent on the exchange progamme, have given us all a yearning fa new experiences, and many wonderful memories that we win cherish lamer.

Last summer I went to Paris with my family. We travelled by train through the Channel Tunnel. We stayed there for five days because we wanted to see the city and enjoy a short holiday. During our stay we visited the Eiffel Tower, walked along the Seine and tried French food. It was an exciting journey, and we came home with many wonderful memories.

Hi,

Last summer I went to Paris with my family. We travelled by train through the Channel Tunnel, which was very exciting. We stayed there for five days during our holiday.

It was a wonderful trip, and I will always remember it.
