Today (Thursday) was a travel day. I had a bit of a lie in, only
stirring from the bed at 9:30AM. After a shower and shave, I had cereal
and a banana for breakfast and set about packing for the journey. The
Panther Cab I'd reserved the night before showed up right on time, and
within a few minutes I was delivered to the bus stop where I would catch
the 12:00PM bus on the X5 line to Milton Keynes. The coaches in England
are pretty darn roomy, and very comfortable. I had two seats to myself
except for a short bit in the middle. After arriving at Milton Keynes
Central Rail Station, I obtained my ticket to Long Buckby. The total
cost of all this travel was in the £26 range. Not bad for a hundred or
so miles. The train was on time, and another 30 minutes later I was in
Long Buckby. I checked into the Murcott Mill Farm Bed & Breakfast,
and then we headed to the boat.
Dinner was at the Red
Lion. A really scrumptious sirloin and a couple of pints later, and it
was back to the B&B for some much needed shut eye.
Again, there will be a huge picture post as soon as I get reliable Internet access again.
