On the Journey home we travelled from Orleans to Paris by train.

As you can see there was a lack of seats but we didn t mind, we just sat down in the walkway and chatted about our time in France.

Next, we caught the Euro star from Paris to London. On the Euro star we were all fairly excitable (who wouldn t be after such an enthralling trip?) Nothing particularly notable occurred although there did seem to be an inordinate amount of giggling coming from Ben and Tom (Above right). However, before we left Paris there was a minor panic at customs. Ben had managed to misplace his passport. There was an atmosphere of tension as his suitcase was strip searched. Finally the evasive papiers d'identit were found.

From London to Marlborough we used the tried and tested school trip classic: the coach. As all selfrespecting teenagers do we sat at the back and things soon got rather strange... I m not entirely sure how it started but we soon developed what can only be described as coach madness! This madness manifested itself in the desire to have photos taken of you whilst relaxing your cheeks and shaking your head. This had some rather hilarious results and even Mrs Luke joined in. Upon returning to Marlborough we all returned to normal and headed home for the inevitable night of storytelling and photo sharing.
