OFF TO BATH

We were to go to Bath this day and I misread the departure point.   We went to the Victoria Coach Station only to discover we needed to be at Waterloo in less than 40 min.   The return trip was to Victoria Coach Station. We had to take a taxi in order to get there in time.   Once there we discovered that the train was ½ hr. late in departing.  Whew, we could once again breathe.   Ruth’s response was,   “gee, we would have had time to take the tube.”   The taxi ride cost £11 and the tube cost £4 each........a savings of £3.   The taxi ride was worth not having the hassle of bags, stairs, escalators, etc. AND we had a little time to calm  down.
