Lots of trouble getting access, and then when I finally do this little IPAD doesn't accept or publish the entry! I lost two drafts, and am going to try again.
Friday morning I took advantage of the free breakfast at Windsor House - definitely the bets thing about this hotel. Toast, tea, strawberry jam, hard boiled egg. Very nice start to the day.
Took the underground back to the airport. Stored my luggage (until 3p, when I can check into the Yotel here at the airport. On the advice of an underground attendant, I bought an all-day ticket for trains and buses anywhere I want to go. The amount I now know about the public transportation system is amazing! I understand all about Oyster cards and one-day returns and open tickets, after making several costly mistakes about each one. '
'My first stop today was Osterly Park - about 6 stops on the Picadilly Line. Osterly Park is a huge house maintained by the National Trust. It was about a ten minutes walk from the underground station. The walk itself was lovely (a very British adjective used for everything from great food to beautiful scenery to the moment in a conversation when the American finally 'gets' what the kind Britisher is trying to explain!
