This summer I decided I wanted to get away from London and try to practise some French. My aim was to get to a region calles Poitiers. I contacted a French family and volunteered to provide private tuitions to their son whilst I'd receive free food and accomodation in return.
But just how was I going to get there?
Eurostar was going to cost around 200 euros. Pretty unaffordable for me. My only option....
The coach. I didn't mind as I still have about 7 weeks left of school. I found a life saver website called rometorio which is the Googlemaps of international travel. Yippee.
It was going to take me 8 hours on the ID bus. I had never heard of this. But would def recommend it. I arrived at 6am at Victoria station to hopefully arrive at 4.50pm in Paris. 4.50pm became 6.50pm due to the traffic. Horrible! But in terms of the comfort. It was really good, lovely reclining leather chairs. It also helped that we took the tunnel and did not go via Dover! I would say I'd recommend it though.
