On the buses

Unlike a lot of places in the country, and decidedly unlike where we used to live, there is a pretty good bus service around here.  We decided to take advantage of it today and travel into Norwich on the bus, partly because we've never done it before and partly because we can travel free now that we're getting on a bit.  It was certainly an experience and while I won't rule out doing it again, it was a bit of an ordeal.  Normally, I would drive to the Park and Ride at the airport which takes around 40 minutes followed by a ten minute bus ride into town.  Our bus journey today should have taken 1 hour 45 minutes but was actually over two hours, although the journey back was on time.  It's worth bearing the bus in mind any time we might want to have a lunch in town with a bottle of wine, but otherwise I think I'll continue driving.

There's a bit of a Dinosaur trail around Norwich; this one must have been particularly dangerous to have been caged up in this way.
