England - our trip

Hi there,

Yes we are back - after a fantastic 2 weeks away. We have so much to blog about that we are splitting it up into a few different "England" blogs.

The travel itself is quite the journey - first a plane to London - we flew ZOOM and landed in Gatwick, then the Gatwick express train ( 30 minutes) to Victoria Station in downtown London, then a taxi to Paddington station where we got another train for 5 1/2 hours down to the lower southwest corner of England, the county of Cornwall. My sister picked us up at the Penzance Station. We left here at 9pm Saturday nite and got to Penzance at 4:30 pm England time on Sunday. Quite the journey (sleep deprivation big time) but all went well and it was Paul's first time on a train!!

We had a more restful journey on the way home. We took the overnight from Penzance to London and had sleeper cabins which were great!!!

Here are some pics!!
