Sunday 14 June
We had our own personal bus service when some of the roads were closed so the bus took us past the cricket club and straight into Bury.
Then we were able to hop straight onto the tram and were in Manchester Piccadilly by 10am - which was just as well as I'd had a notification to say that our second train from Crewe had been cancelled.
After a quick consultation at the information office we were able to catch an earlier train to Crewe. Once there we hopped off one train and straight across the platform onto another so we actually arrived in London two hours early despite our cancelled train!
Found our little bedsit, unpacked the bags then set off for a walk.
Went down Tottenham Court Road towards the Thames and met loads of pearly kings and queens on Waterloo bridge - zigzagging across 10 bridges on a charity walk.
We had a little stop by the river for an elderflower gin cocktail. Very nice!
We walked back over Westminster bridge.
Then back past Downing Street, Trafalgar Square..
.. and Horse Guards Parade..
.. and through Chinatown.
Over 6 miles.
A really good day. And lovely weather!
