With Eurostar, it's one journey direct from city centre to city centre. It is one of the most technologically advanced trains in the world, speeding you effortlessly at 290 km per hour through the beautiful countryside of Europe.

Dear Jim,
Jim, it's been long since I've written to you. Hope your health is fine. Vacations are about to begin and my parents have planned to take us to Singapore. I heard my mom telling me that your parents are thinking of taking you to a Euro trip. Last year I'd been there so thought of sharing my experience with you … especially about the one I had at Eurostar. (Eurostar is a very convenient and time saving travel option. You can relax and eat a good meal while enjoying scenic views of the European countryside. It's very easy to book a Eurostar ticket. They have multi-lingual staff to assist people on the train as well as the terminal) Can Elaborate.
April to September are the most favourable months to plan a vacation to Disneyland. Tickets can be booked through telephone or internet. The staff is multi-lingual and very friendly. Telephone booking line is open from 08:00 to 21:00 Monday to Saturday and 09:00 to 17:00 on Sundays. The Eurostar tickets can be booked up to 90 days in advance. (Elaborate the pointers in your own words)
Jim I must say the the Eurostar takes you through the most scenic places in Europe. The journey would be all the more fun if you carry your favourite story book. Taking your diary along would also be a great idea. Once you reach Disney Land you need to be a little careful and not go about the rides alone. Don't forget to carry your DSLR because every moment will be worth capturing. Keep some chocolates and juices handy. Have fun my friend. I am sure once you come back you'll surely want to visit it again. Take care and do let me know how the trip turns out to be. Give my regards to all at home. Lots of love to little Kiara.
Your loving friend,
Jack
