Beanie and Tango's Big Trip, Day Four

Today's our last day!!!  So we came down for our usual breakfast of weetabix and coffee!

And toast and jam!!!

Then we had to supervise the packing up of everything!!  We made sure nothing was left behind...

And then we dropped off the room key in reception, said goodbye and had a short walk down the road....

....to the train station!  We've had a lovely trip you know!  It was fun!

We had a window seat on the train and saw the cathedral spire!

And a glimpse of the castle too!

And a short while later, we were crossing the Thames again!

We're back in London now!!!

We quickly used the facilities....

And stopped at the cheese shop to get some nibbles!!

And then we got on another train back home!

We gave them a floppy disc!

Oh, there's Battersea Power Station over there!!!

And we're crossing the river again!

When we got to Clapham, some plonker decided to lock himself in a toilet and start smoking cigarettes.  That set off an alarm in the bit where the train driver sits and he wouldn't move the train until the Transport Police had taken away the plonker!!!!!  So we ended up being delayed for a while...... people who needed to get to Gatwick had to change trains!!!

Eventually we got going though.

The train driver told us when we finally got to Gatwick that we were now a fast service to Brighton, missing out about three stops, because we were now running late!!!

THAT SUITS US LOT!!!!!!

And here we are at Brighton!!!

We didn't have to wait long for a bus, either!

They got another floppy disc too!

And then it was just a short walk home.......

and we all fell into bed completely exhaustipated!!!!!!

Beanie and Tango's Big Trip, Day one

Today me and Tango were put in charge of packing!!!  Tango made a bit of a mess though, but he's not had to do this before!

Then we walked down the road to the bus stop!!!  Tango hasn't done this before either!!

We didn't have to wait long for the Coach either...... where are we going?!?!

Tango is super excited!!  He's never been on a coach before!!!

We tied a floppy disc to the seat....

....and left a bookcrossing book in the seat too!!

We made a video of the Royal Pavilion!

And then we got the jaffa cakes out!

YUMM!!!

Yumyumyum!

We had a stop in Banstead to let somebody off!

So where now?

We think this is London somewhere....

Oh!!  We're going over the Thames now!!

And we arrived at the coach station 20 minutes early!!!  Spectacular!!!

Then we had to go down this way.....

.....and made use of the facilities......

....and then went this way!!  I had to follow Andrea's directions very carefully.

Oh!  We've seen that from the bus!!

Ooooo!

Oh here we are!!!  Bill's restaurant!!!

Andrea's taking us for a meal!!!

We got a big pot of tea.....

And then we got a big fry-up breakfast!!  Excellent!

After that, we had a bit of a wander and found a ballerina!

And then found a war memorial and left some poppies on it!

Coo, that looks nice there!

They have windchimes on the bottom so they go clinkety clink in the breeze!

And then we stopped to see Andrea's favourite sculpture!!!

It's brill!

Then we went back to the train station because we're travelling somewhere else!!!

So we got on a train next!!!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT CAMERA???

Neither of us have been this way before!!

We gave them a CD!

Oooo there's another river!

Over another river.....

We're at Chatham!

We had a short walk from the station, past Manor Road

...to the St George Hotel!!!

And that bottom sign says Dragon!!

We checked in and we got room 109!!  Look at that view!!

It's BRILLIANT!!!

After we unpacked, we decided to have a stroll to check out the area.  We went downhill into Chatham, and checked out the tumbleweed.  Chatham is closed today.

So we went the other way towards Rochester.  That sign says Crystal Palace!  It doesn't look like a palace.....

OH WOW!!!

It's a gate with flying piggies on it!!!

Oh wow!!!

What fun!!!

We're in Rochester High Street now - looks a lot more interesting!!!

On wow!!!

Oh gosh.....

OH!!!  Gosh, this is an interesting place!

Museum huh??

Lots of interesting shopping too!!!

That's the cathedral!

And there's the castle!!!

We had a bit of a sit down and left a book on the seat!

There's a Knight with a big sword!

And a green pillar box!!!

We then decided to walk back to the hotel and left a CD on the way.

Oh!  I wonder why there isn't a house there.....?

After a rest, we were proper hungry - luckily they do food at the bar so we went down and had a small beer......

and a HUGE portion of fish and chips!!!!!!  YUMMY!!!

What a brilliant day......!

.....we're completely exhaustipated!!!!!
