So as to simulate jet lag……



Most people arrive in Paris jet lagged, so we simulated that by taking an overnight bus from London.  To take the Eurostar train through the chunnel, it turns out that you really need to book 3 to 6 months ahead to any get any kind of a fare.  We arrived in London unwilling to pay the same day, or even next day, fare.  So we asked about options, and were referred to the overnight buses. 

The cost of the overnight bus for two of us was about the same as the discount (booked far in advance) fare for the Eurostar would have been for one person.  In fact, it was about the same as a cheap hotel, making the trip free, if you figure that we would have had to stay somewhere overnight.
