2015 07 06 Calais to Oxford on the tunnel train.

6th – 7th July 2015
Coquelles, France to Oxford, England
We are up early and ready to get the train to the UK.  We are so early that when we get to the check in booth the girl offers to put us on an earlier train, bonus!
We are keen to get to Oxford early so we can find our digs and empty the bike ready for its service on Tuesday.


The reality of being  in the UK hits home as soon as we stop at a petrol station, we are faced with a bill about double of what we having been paying in Europe! The accommodation is another shock we have gone from paying an average of 60 euro for decent rooms to a really average room with a shared  bathroom for 66 pounds (about 99 euro). Oh well it’s still better than being on the couch at home :)

Waiting to get on the train.


Off we go.

Around Oxford. 

They only just fit, you wouldn’t want to put any more air in the tyres.
