162.365 London and then Lille

 This was a definite highlight of the girls to see platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station.  They had a small gift shop near by that they each got to pick out a wand too!  Dumbledore for Juliette, Isabelle got Ron Weasley's and Allie got Hermoine's.  


 France unfortunately had a major train strike while we were there and our Eurostar train from London to Rennes, France was cancelled!  It was a major pain getting tickets and praying that the train would even get us to a destination a second time.  But, you have to make the most of the situation.  We eventually made it to Lille and decided to stay the night there and hope that we had a train to take us to Rennes the next day.  Thank goodness for internet as we found a place not far from the train station by tram.  The place was decent although the stairs were treacherous.  We ate out that night on a lively street in Lille.
