[Sundae]

Once again, not Greenwich, just London.
We went to Sydenham, South East London yesterday for my Uncle's funeral.
As we live North of London, this meant a trip across the capital.

Sadly, it was all travelling, rush rush rush.
I really must go back and take some photos of Peckham for you.

We left early and got the train to Marylebone.
The Ladies toilet is undergoing renovation, so it's free - yay!
But there are only two working toilets for the whole station - boo!
This meant Mum & I had to queue long-time, and in fact this put us well behind.

Down to the Underground and a trip along the Bakerloo line to Elephant and Castle.
Now when I booked the trip, I thought the 45 minutes between getting off at Marylebone and getting onto another above ground train at E&C would be more than sufficient, even knowing Dad walks very slowly these days.

But I hadn't factored in the long wait for the Ladies and I didn't know that although the stations bear the same name they are in two separate locations. The Elephant & Castle British Rail station is across a very busy traffic junction and through a shopping centre! And of course it's elevated, so another three flights of stairs to negotiate.

The three of us looking like we're off to a funeral. Or a day in Court I suppose - I think Mum & I both look quite sinister.
