Homework Time!
Homework Time.
After a wonderful dinner of soup followed by Gammon and Croquette potatoes the boys begrudgingly sat down to some homework. Some of them already seem ready for bed!
Onwards to Belgium
We have finished our visits for the day. We must leave France and head into Belgium to our hotel for dinner, homework then bed.
Having been on Canadian soil at the Vimy memorial, Belgium will be our fourth country of the day!

Eurotunnel Terminal
Inside the terminal
We were teased with the possibility of an early train, which was eventually cancelled. We are therefore getting the original scheduled train. Oh well.
Preparing to leave!
Everyone arrived on time, with all their things. Fingers crossed for good weather while we are away.
