The long and winding road...

...back home from London:
We could of course have gone straight from W to Y but we had to go via X because our cars were parked there at the Tampere International airport.
We travelled 3000 km (1873 miles)back home in 82 hours.
The vehicles used were, starting in London: taxi, ferry, bus, train, taxi, train, ferry, bus, ferry, train, taxi, own car. One night spent in a hotel in Lille, about 7 hrs. Effective travel speed including waiting for trains etc was then 40 km/h or 25 mph. :)

5:15...

...to Brighton, not really but tomorrow 5:15 AM out of London in a van to Newhaven in an attempt to reach the continental Europe by ferry to Dieppe. The ultimate Dieppe raid.
Then we will try to get a train to Paris and then to Stockholm. Ferry to Turku (Åbo) in Finland, train to Tampere, taxi to Tampere international airport and car back home.
Phew.
This will last some few days or more. We will blame Iceland.

Anyway, we had to spend an extra day in London, most of it spent in trying to get us out of here without any significant success. In the afternoon we took off to Richmond to see if we could spot some famous people there :)
