In an attempt to get out of the country asap I decided to take the train to Harwich. Having no phone after it got into a fight with a bottle of beer it was going to be fun just getting across London, but I thought that would be the end of it.
Well I made it to Crewe before being kicked off the train to London as I didn't have a valid bike reservation. Good start. However, keeping positive my bike already needed a little tweaking and tightening and I soon found out they have a bike maintenance station... Who knew?!
An hour later I was back on my way to London with Connie in full working order. Once there I some how managed to use a combination of bus stop maps and information points to make it to Liverpool Street. Here, I had to use the worlds smallest lift with my bike in wheelie mode to try and get to the ticket office, but I was finally on the last leg (of that day's journey not the TV show).
At Harwich I came out of the train to be offered two exit routes, to cruises and to the ferry, and I was already wondering if I should have booked the cruise instead.
Out of the station I was told to follow the cars on the other side, well all I saw was a lorry so I followed that. I was then shouted at by a man for not being 'a wide load' I took that as a compliment and asked him what to do and before I knew it I was on the ship. An ensuit cabin all to myself With TV, ideal!
