Money in; money out

---

We got a call today from Thomas Cook travel agency with whom we had booked the train tickets. The travel agent was most apologetic: she had received the information as to the cost of two return rail tickets and had translated that as being the cost of one return rail ticket so had inadvertently overcharged us. All has been rectified now and the return cost per person is 77 GBP, a much more affordable price. I am especially pleased because my lovely little camera that is about 7 years old seems to be having a hissy fit of some kind and is going to need repairs precisely at the time I need it most. However, I have found a store here in England (Argos??) at which I can get a little Olympus or Kodak for under 50 GBP so the refund on the train fare will purchase a new camera. Good deal all round.

Sorry about all the shock to people who might have been considering travelling on the EuroStar...it's obviously not as expensive as we first thought. Whew!

Geoff is going to take us into London as far as Heathrow where we can grab the tube to Picadilly and transfer to the Bakerloo line to get us to Waterloo station. Another adventure on a transit system awaits! Aren't you glad you are at home where I can't get you lost, Les??
