Day 1

Our epic journey begins with a tale of good fortune and grace. We were carried to our locomotive by a charming lady in her mini carriage; we were most delighted and thrilled by her assistance.

On arrival at the train station a struggle with stairs greeted us but exuberance pushed us forwards. On board the train, time passed quickly and seats continued to fill as we neared our destination.

London! We had arrived, as the bear from Peru once did, at Paddington, from there we were conveyed to our hostelry by underground carriages of varying cleanliness. Once again we emerged into daylight, planes
passing overhead with alarming frequency.
