The rain has stopped and the sun is shining, but as so often on a day like this, it will be spent mainly on trains, buses and automobiles!
As we compose ourselves after a rather heavy night of drinking and dancing, it would seem that 3 hours of sleep probably isn't enough amount to function on efficiently but we don't have much choice! After spending 30 minutes looking for a hotel key that had already been handed in we head back into Norwich for a final look around.
Back to Three Ways, the Lebanese restaurant where we are given our lunch for a nominal fee! Thanks guys : )
We stroll past a guy setting up to play reggae for the local Church group and are accosted by a young lady with the most beautiful yellow eyes...After heading to another juice bar for a pick-me up, it's onto the train station to make our way home. As we leave the hotel with all our luggage, we spot Lucy and her daughter, the 2 Morris dancers we had bumped into in the park on our way in to Norwich. Small world!! They to are on the way to the train station and we all have an hour to wait for our trains. Sitting, basking in the rarity of sunshine, we talk, tell jokes and exchange emails.
Our train finally arrives and we depart for Cambridge. A walk from the train station to catch our connecting bus to Buckingham. We both have the good fortune of sitting next to great company and the 3+ hours bus journey seems to fly by.
Arriving back in Brackley at about 8.30, a decision is made to head for a return home beer....

Sunshine always blows a hangover away. To be honest I think it was all the dancing last night.
Norwich is compelling with the sun out. How I'd love to stay another night or two and soak up this city but being skint I have little choice. Watching Adam Scramble around looking for his hotel key as we check out, I wonder if this is some sort of ritual for luck, as it's such a regular occurrence.
Today we find an even better juice bar, mainly because they have reggae blaring out! It has to be a return to the Lebanese restaurant for lunch, it's my favourite, and so rare to get the chance. We stock up on snacks for the journey at Rainbow Wholefoods, we are spoilt for choice at the selection.
Sitting on the train I'm scheming on the next dance adventure. Seems appropriate to do some more this summer so watch this space!!
We get off the train at Cambridge to jump on a bus that takes us most of the way home. Me and Adam decide to split up on the bus, partly because we are sick of the sight of each other and partly in the hope of meeting somebody interesting to talk to. As ever it turns out to be the right choice when a beautiful young lady asks if she can take the seat next to me. "Of course miss!" :)
