Our Journey to Berlin – London to Harwich

All packed and we’re off! Poor Mummy … she’s got George in a bag, me attached to a strap across her body so she can have her hands free.

So off we went first in a taxi to Liverpool Train Station. We got there early so we jumped on an earlier train. George was a little uncertain – so he was a bit wriggly. Mummy had to hold onto him. As I take my usual place – under the seat is where I like to be. George got a lot of attention – as always.  This little boy was really sweet. He kept saying to his sister – “how can you not love that face?!”  But I was ready to get off … think we took the slow train. And George, he never stopped looking around – he must be wondering what’s going on. Thankfully he is so dinky, Mummy can totally handle him.Three stations before we got to our stop, I got restless and was ready to get off.
We had to change trains for Harwich International.  By then, both George and I were tired and we fell asleep on the last leg of the journey.  Apparently this always happens to me. I would be keen to see what’s around and then just before we get off, I’m bored by then and fall asleep. George is doing the same thing. We finally arrived at Harwich International.  A lovely gentleman helped Mummy with her bag as she took us up the stairs and down the stairs before we got to the taxi rank.Mummy’s so so pleased that she had the great idea to stop for the night.  A taxi took us to The Pier – a small hotel on the Quay.

May’s comment: Part 1 of our journey to Berlin. Great idea to stop for the night – knackered after a hectic morning and then the train journey. We started off on our journey at 3:15pm and got to The Pier Hotel by 6pm. So not so bad. Tomorrow, an early start and then on the ferry – for almost 7 hours.  Can’t wait to get to the hotel for a quiet evening.
