Alas, it was time for me to catch my train to Brussels then to London. The train ride was uneventful, and actually the eurostar is incredibly efficient. Once I arrived in London at Kings Cross, I met with Jamie/JC (I think I have mentioned him using both his name and nickname) and off we went during rush hour traffic on the tube and the commuter ...
