The joys of catching buses and trains while traveling-love the budget travel. While catching a train from Munich to Bonn, I was told that Bonn station was closed, and I would be dropped off a station early-at 5.30am, in a country where I really dont speak the language, and with no sleep all night-I was told that I would have to find my own way to Bonn via either a taxi or the tram. Thankfully I found the tram to the correct station!!!
A week later I was catching a bus from Berlin to London-a lovely 18 hour trip. Unfortuanately, there was a train stuck in the Eurotunnel, and after a 6 hour wait (we did managed to move about a mile in that time) on the bus to get onto the Eurotunnel train, my 18 hour bus ride, turned into a 24 hour bus ride.
Gotta love budget backpacking-thankfully I had my book, talking book and MP3 player, so managed to pass my extra 6 hours without too much bordam, but did miss out on my 4 hours sightseeing in London.

Yes, with John now. Altough it is about 0 degrees here, it almost feels warm after Germany!!!
Hi Princess... Love following your adventures. I case I forget[which I am likely to do] have a wonderful Christmas and an even better Hogmanay. We are going to miss you at the Watkins-Craig annual Christmas beanfeast [but we'll have young Myra as a consolation prize.]
LOL and best wishes
Ian and Kate
XXXX and OOOO for Christmas!
PS. Your cat Belisha has left it's mark on me I have scars on my fingers after helping Kate shove a worming tablet down it's throat.
[Kate got clawed as well - but she's used to it! ;-)
Isnt she a darling-Belisha has never scratched me while being wormed-it is usually Chiquita who does the scratching, she must just love you!!!! I will also miss the Craig-Watkins Christmas, first time in over 20 years, will be weird. Hopefully I will get to speak to you all though. Unfortunatly, you wont quite get the same facinating conversation from Myra as you do from me :)
