I took Diane and Eric back into Cambridge today (April 27) to get a few things. Driving next to all the bikers and very narrow roads unnerves me too much so I just drive to the Park & Ride and take the bus in.
After Cambridge, I drove back to Whittlesford-the train station to be exact to pick up a friend of Eric's, Wolf. Eric knows Wolf through the HAM, he's from Germany and upon hearing that Eric was going to be so close, he flew in for a quick visit. They hadn't seen each other since the late 90's, so it was nice for them.
I spent most of the afternoon getting ready-it takes a while to pack light for 4 people. Jason came home from work early, had 2 conference calls then a taxi arrived to take us to the train station. Wolf rode with us until his airport stop while we went on to London, Liverpool. We fed the kids Burger King in the station-which was quite crowded. Turns out all the trains were delayed b/c someone died on the tracks.
The kids are now pro's at using tickets for the Tube and pulling their own suitcases. Jason reserved a room that was supposed to be a 10 minute walk from the station-but we walked the wrong direction. Ten minutes turned into twenty, but we eventually got there settled down for the night.
