Yesterday was Stripefest day in Norwich - a long day! We left about 7.30 am as we needed to be at Liverpool Street station by 9.30 and had to travel across London by train. When we left the hotel, one tube line we wanted to travel on was suspended so it looked as if we would have to change a few times to get there. Luckily by the time we reached Waterloo the Waterloo and City line was working and it only took us about 15 minutes to get from Waterloo to Liverpool Street station so we were there I plenty of time. We travelled with Abellio East Anglia trains for the first time, an interesting experience as the elderly train lurched from station to station, and worse still no Wifi!!!!

Norwich was a wonderful surprise with some lively buildings. We were met by Brigid and Nigel who took us for a tour of their town :)

The trip home was better, a more modern train with wifi. We arrived back in London about 9 pm after a busy but fun filled day of sightseeing and pub crawling...
