Day 13 (Friday, 30th September): Going Home.

Today, at 6 am while the city was still sleeping, we made our way to the train station. Luckily we did not have to walk, but got to take taxis to Glasgow Queen Street station.

Of course, over the past two weeks the souvenirs have accumulated in our luggage and in order to get the suitcases and duffle bags closed, team work was required. Nevertheless, Noah's suitcase could not keep up with the load and the zipper broke. Luckily, Nikolai was well prepared and had duct tape with him (because his backpack already broke on the very first day of our journey and he had to fix it somehow). The problem was solved quickly and somewhat efficiently (to be seen in the picture attached). Other than that, everything went smoothly and we started our journey home. Once in London, we already had to say our first goodbyes — Emma is conveniently staying there to visit family.

After we said goodbye to her, we once again got on the Eurostar and commenced the train ride to Paris Nord. After our arrival we had to change the train station from Paris Nord to Paris Est where we took the train to Colmar. In Colmar we changed the train for the last time and after a long journey arrived in Basel.
