This is a blog of our holiday to Switzerland for two weeks with Ffestiniog Travel. The blog contains several hundred photographs so be warned.
Our travel this time was slightly different, insomuch as we had a taxi to take us to Norwich As we had to catch the coach at 10:00 and the car was in the garage for an MOT and service.
We arrived at the bus station in good time and the coach made very good time into London arriving early. The underground was quite quiet and we were soon ready to book into the Kings Cross Premier Inn. That evening we met my granddaughter and her partner for a meal at Altonapoli Italian Restaurant, before turning in for the night. This was probably the noisiest Premier Inn that we have ever stayed at, so not the best night's sleep. This was the view from our window, refrigeration units and rubbish bins for the kitchen.
Wednesday morning we met Geoff, our tour leader at St Pancras Station, And it wasn't long before we were boarding our train to brussels. Unfortunately our train was running late and we were very worried about making our connection at Brussels. But Geoff had a word with the train hostess who contacted Brussels and arranged for our train to come in on a different platform and our outgoing train to Frankfurt to be on the adjoining line, so we just had to cross the platform from one to the other.
At Frankfurt our hotel was very close to the station, so only a very short walk which was good. They had their own Chinese restaurant where we all ate that night with a limited, help your self buffet.
