Today was a travel day ( actually yesterday as I’m writing this on Saturday, August 25).

We took the ferry again from Dublin. This time I got us a room! Much better in terms of comfort but we had to buy our own food. Definite trade off but everyone slept and, at this point, that was more important. It was, after all, an 8 am sailing.

Then we got on a Virgin train and, this time, without having to change trains went all the way to London. They did provide drinks and snacks in first class but it definitely wasn’t as comfortable as our train from Paris to London on the Eurostar. But, better than cramped space in coach. Our luggage had to be placed in the back of the train because it was so big but when we got off the train we were all turned around so couldn’t find where it was. We also added about 5 cars along the way so we were very confused. Alas, our luggage was rescued just before the train took off again!

We are in the Marylebone area. And, of course, it started to rain as we were walking home from the grocery store. Good news is that we have more than one bathroom so it’s a step up from Dublin.
