Story about train journey to Paris.
So from St Pancras there were quite a lot of tunnels and so me and my mum were a little confused about what would be THE tunnel under the English Channel to France. We were in a tunnel, a long one, and we were checking my SnapMap and saw we were chilling right on the coastline in Kent so we were like yeah we must be about to enter the tunnel. Fast forward maybe 5 mins, we’ve emerged again. And it doesn’t look much different from Kent. So me and my mum just go… “huh, I wonder where the actual tunnel will be” and sit confused.
While I’m looking at my mum’s phone, I noticed her time said half past 3, which was odd because we’d only been on the train an hour, but we left at half 1. When I checked my phone, it said half 2. So I thought maybe I read her time wrong or something. Moved on. More time passes, I suddenly get a text from my phone provider, titled WELCOME TO FRANCE. Odd, I think, we haven’t made it to France yet. My mum notices her time is odd, and we begin to piece it together…
“We need to spot a sign or a road to see what side the cars are driving on”.
There were few signs. And few roads. But eventually we did in fact find some cars and they were in fact driving on the right. We’d been in France the entire time, and hadn’t realised it. We thought the tunnel was too short but turns out it’s only a 20 minute trip under
