thanks for the tipp Sami,
I had already booked a ferry to Caen from
Portsmouth, which now can go without me. I got a
ticket to Lille and will take it from there. I
encourage all others to try it online for the
Eurostar, they have tickets, even if only a few.
a pint - with pleasure - where? Exmlouth Market
has some nice places and is around the university
anyway...
