The train left Kandersteg at about 7:00pm on Saturday! As
on the way out, sleep was the last thing on most peoples minds.
The last thing Andy Lannin said to everyone before we
eventually went to sleep was, we get off at 6:30am so let's be up by 6
please.

| Too
early. |

The following morning Mark glances out of the window as we lave a
station and sees a sign saying Brussels 65.
|
 |
| Don't
Panic but we get off in 10 minutes! |
|
|
After trying to asses the train's
speed for a few minutes and then spending a few
minutes trying to estimate how long it will take the
train to travel 65 miles Mark realises that the sign
was in kilometers.
Scrabbling for his watch to find that we
have 20 minutes before we get off, panic starts to
set in. Everybody else is still locked in there
rooms and asleep!
After ten minutes of knocking on doors and
yelling at people everyone is up and getting
dressed. This is not easy to do with so many
people and rucksacks in such a small space.

After dosing in the Eurostar departure lounge for an hour and a half
we eventually clamber onto our train back to London.
The scouts make a B-line for the Bar carriage and kindly
purchased all but the last but one breakfast so Mark and Andy had to share
what would have been a well earned full English. (Important tip.
Eurostar Full English - Not worth it but the cheese and ham toasties are
lovely)
