Last night Victoria Station was packed with thousands of people. Our guide from the gods: Aine took us to an area where we had enough space to put our bags down and watch the scene as the train pulled in and people made a run for it. The first carriages were very rough with wooden slats for seats - this train was a mininum 9hour journey! Next was a little better because people had reserved seats so were guaranteed a sit down! Next was sleepers - enough to hand people like bats! then our carriages. Now, i had this fantasy for myself and Cathy, since we paid a little more, of your know the moovie, Some Like it Hot, where Marilyn, Jack and yer man have a very cosy sleeper with little white curtains. Well ours was nothing like it! it was a mush to get our seats only to find a couple with a gizzillion bags wverywhere and an old man sitting sheepishly opposite. The world had shifted on its axes and we landed with a bang but when all tickets checked and paid space allocated all was well with the world again.
have to go again: another train to catch!
Namaste xx Cathy &Dee
