Look
out Lille here we come!! The usual route
Combourg – Rennes but this time direct to Lille, calling at Charles de Galle
T2. With all these early starts Danny
was asleep after a coffee by the time we arrived in Le Mans, not having to
change in Paris was a luxury to be enjoyed.
We arrived at Lille Europe and the Fanzone is in between Lille Flandres
and Europe stations. As usual with Lille
it was raining so we waited for the rain to abate and ventured towards our
hotel – Mr Bed – which was situated above a shopping mall.
On the way at the Fanzone Danny wanted his
picture taking with the giant logo which was very impressive.
The hotel
though was quiet, but close to bars and restaurants away from everyone who
didn’t want to stay and drink more beer. Like all the host cities we’ve visited Lille
has some dramatic architecture and a wonderful Grand Place where people can meet
and chat.
After pestering me after tea
I agreed that I would take Danny to the Fanzone to watch Poland v
Portugal.
There was even time for Lee
Johnson to put in appearance.
After the
first 20 minutes the Fanzone was more exciting than the game. Extra time and penalties meant that we were
there much later than mine and Danny’s usual bedtime. When we arrived back it was straight to bed.
