Our feet might have been wrecked after so much walking yesterday, but we've got a pretty good sense of direction now, and the connections on the Tube make a lot more sense. We generally like to have some down time when we travel. Breathlessly moving from attraction to attraction doesn't really excite us, but finding our way around in a new place and using the local modes of transport makes for an interesting experience. The underground line we're close to is the Bakerloo line, which connects to most other Tube lines in the network (I don't want to say all, because I haven't run the figures!). The Tube is really cool. The tunnels are curved, including the pedestrian tunnels, and even the trains are rounded, like little tubes whooshing through their cylindrical containers. Someone had fun designing it, I reckon. Even the detail in the complexity of how to navigate the platforms is an adventure. You need to keep your wits about you to make sure you end up on the right platform, on the right line, moving in the right direction. So far so good. For anyone familiar with the city circle line in Sydney, think Wynyard station with a heap more platforms and a series of rabbit warren like passage ways. I could explore public transport for days. I guess I'm THAT guy at a party... trains and ABBA. Speaking of which... two more sleeps... YAY!
