Eurostar to Paris adventure

We made it, we are here in Paris!! What a day- up at 3.30am, packed the last minute things and our taxi arrived to take us to the station at 4.30am. We had some rolls and the  kids sat and had pancakes and juice along the way. We were supposed to get off at clapham junction, but train was delayed so it missed this stop, so straight through to Waterloo station we went, we got a taxi to St Pancras station, and along the way we could see the London eye and Big Ben and the Houses of Parliment, very exciting, as we were not planning on being in so close to it at all. We had time to refresh and have a bite to eat. We boarded the Eurostar at 10.14am, feels later, as we have been up already,& for nearly 7 hours, kid were good, Lachie was too excited to sleep on the 1st train, but Maddie slept for about half an hour. The Eurostar was great, not packed and very comfortable, Lachie slept for a bit in this train, while Maddie kept us on our toes until the last half hour of the trip, when she finally decided to go to sleep.
Once we arrived I asked the guy on the platform, how many carriages the Eurostar had, as it was a long train, he had no idea what I said and I did not understand him, lol, reality check - this is going to be funny, we have a book with the important things to ask etc, but we will be fine.......when we left the building to go to the bus we could see the gates to the Disney studios, ooohhhh can't wait to take the kids to Disneyland, just next door, we are doing this on Monday and Tuesday... got to our room and kids were desperate to get out and burn of some energy, as they have sat all day. We went to the shopping center called Val D'Europe. It is amazing, like a DFO all designer shops, will deinately be going back there for another look. Did some grocery shopping, the supermarket was massive, never seen anything like it.....and sooo much to choose from, it was a very interesting experience, as we can't read French lol, but we managed and are very proud of ourselves, we cooked Cordon Bleu, and scallop potatoes and managed to eat at 9pm, as  travelling with little people, nothing is to plan.....eg toilets, hungry or not tired lol, so finally they were asleep after a massive day and we are not far behind... a big day exploring the city tomorrow.
