Je Suis idiots!!

This morning we had a lovely full English breakfast at the Cute and Crazy Inn...


Hi it was delicious, except every 5 seconds Jeff and Adam kept saying "is this the Chunnel" or "are we in the Chunnel?"

Ugh I could tell it was going to be along day! Oh and neither of the boys know any French, oh wait that is not true, Jeff knows how to say "who cut the cheese", so that will clearly be helpful.

But alas it was time to check out, except Adam and Jeff (who claim they packed light) had a wee bit of trouble coming up the stairs...


This was karma for all the Chunnel bits...


I think Adam's "light" suitcase weighs more than he does...


We hopped in a taxi and said bye to Brighton but not before the driver looked at Adam's giant bag and saying "do you have the crown jewels in there?" (insert Queen joke here)

We took the first train to London to a hearty round of "are we in the Chunnel?"


And the worst bit ever continues...


The train was pretty crowded so a seemingly nice lady sat with us. She might have been a little confused with all the Chunnel bits. But lucky for her she fell asleep pretty quick, as did the boys...


Thankfully because at this rate I was pretty sure I was gonna leave them on the train and go to Paris alone.

Anyhoo we arrived at Victoria station, and the nice woman and the boys woke up and with perfect timing she said to them, "are you horribly hungover too?"

Great apparently we were sitting with Bridget Jones.

Adam said as we left that she smelled like booze, but he couldn't tell if it was her or him so he didn't say anything...

We made our way on the tube to the Eurostar station with the boys doing the Chunnel bit on a loop, yay! It's a good thing this bit wasn't getting old, oh wait.


They just wouldn't stop...


We stopped at a market to get sandwiches for the train. It was pretty much like watching a monkey trying to do a math problem with these two trying to decide what was in the sandwiches, even though they were all written in English, idiots!

Next we went through passport control and unfortunately the French let Jeff and Adam in, Mierde!

There was just enough time for 700 more Chunnel bits, hi I might be a little over it...


Remember when this bit was funny? Because I don't...


I might have been over it...


Too subtle?


After getting settled on the train, thankfully I got to sit across from them so I at least had a 4 foot cushion from the Chunnel-a-thon.

And I might have put my headphones on like I do on planes, it's my subtle way of saying, yes I'm really just not interested in what you are saying.

So we're off to Paris!!! Oh and here is the boys enjoying the Chunnel...


Whomp whomp, Au Revoir!

  1. Nobody's called it The Chunnel for years. Keith I feel your pain, the whole "Everything has a "U" schtick is ... oh never mind..
    The French phrase Jeff knows is actually "Who's farted" by the way (to cut cheese is "couper le fromage" so don't believe him. He lies.
