Day 43 London – Oxford 29 May 2018


Had a sleep in this morning as it’s our last day at Kings Cross. How we will miss walking up three flights of stairs and not lugging our suitcases up the stairs. When we were leaving we took one suitcase and Elizabeth stood guard at the bottom of the building. I returned to get the second suitcase and while Elizabeth was waiting she heard a regular thumping, meaning that I had either lost control of the suitcase or I had developed a new technique. She was probably relieved to see a girl come down the stairs in flip flops. Our skilled taxi driver got us to the Victoria Coach Station. We negotiated ourselves to catch the bus but the screen shot I had was insufficient so we had to get a ticket printed off. In the end it was no problem and because we had arrived in plenty of time we still caught our planned bus but the ticket is flexible.

In light rain we arrived and eventually found our way to The Buttery Hotel.  The stairs are a little narrow but it is very centrally located. We only have to walk 10 minutes in any direction to find all the important attractions. Unfortunately we have three flights of narrow spiral stairs to negotiate which makes us wish ironically we were back at Cartwright Gardens. The red door is the entry.
