Hi, we are back The train ride was great & very quick. (High speed express), the B& B was perfect. Good call, Rick Steves Now the fun began. We were helped in finding a wheel chair for Suzanne. It was a great way to go We headed into town for a quick lunch, and some sight seeing. Lunch was good but it started to rain a bit. Within 2 hours we were in the middle of York, captive in a bank , in the biggest downpour & lightening storm we could of ever imagined. Back to the B& B and Totally drenched, we started over, and did manage a few pictures and some pub food before calling it a night.

After a lovely British breakfast of ham, scrambled egg, bean, tomatoes, and toast, the guys muscled our luggage down 5 flights of narrow stairs. We found a cab (Our first taxi in London, weeeeeeeeeee ) , and made our way to our train station. At least we saw a bit of London before leaving. Once again at the train station, we were ushered to the head of the line, and put on a train to York within 15 minutes. Im starting to believe crutches are necessary travel equipment.

The days were long & the flights were long, but thanks to Suzanne & her injury, we were escorted through the airports, and to the head of all lines, and let me say their were some long lines. To all of you joining us, British Air treats you wonderfully. You will really enjoy your flight. Day one in London was pretty quiet. We found our B&B and after really long showers made our way to The Belgravia Pup for a pint and some fish & chips. After a trip on the tube across town we decided to take a cab to the train station tomorrow. Walking back to our B&B we were drenched by a downpour. Now why would we think to carry an umbrella in London? We also had a lightning storm in the middle ... read more
