Time for a break until our next adventure...in only 5 days

We woke up on Fijord Princess for the last time, packed our bags, cleaned up a bit, and was at the bus station by 9:30 AM.  We are on our way to London for the night and then traveling to Bury St. Edmunds to visit with some friends of our until we leave for our next adventure.

Here we are at the bus stop in Middlewich.

We caught the 9:55 AM bus to Crewe.  We arrived in Crewe at 10:45 AM, but our train to London doesn't leave until 3:30 PM.  Yes there are plenty of trains that leave between now and 3:30 that go to London, but the train companies are having a huge sale right now, so instead of paying £70 pound for the 2 of us, if we wait till 3:30, we pay £9.40 for the 2 of us.

We found the only pub in town that was opened this early and hung out there till 3 PM nursing a couple of pints...they didn't seem to mind.  We caught our 3:30 train and arrived in London just before 6 PM.  We took the Underground to our hotel near the Liverpool Street Station which we leave out of tomorrow morning.  The hotel was in the London Tower area, so we checked in, dropped our bags, and headed out for dinner (pizza) followed by a walk around.

After three weeks in a small, but comfortable, narrowboat bed where I was scrunched against the wall, last night felt extravagant in a king size bed.  The shower was awesome as well being large with unlimited water to use.  Our train to Bury St. Edmunds doesn't leave till noon, so we got to sleep in and relax until heading out around 11 AM for our 15 minute walk to Liverpool Street Station.

It was bright, blue skies across London this morning.

I liked the converted buildings along the canal, good way to preserve them. Great trip.
