Saturday the 6th Sept. Pm.
Ahhh, this is better. A much more pleasant train awaited us, and we were soon installed into the top deck of the double decker coaches. The pleasant guard cheered everyone up with his witty announcements, and generally slow, but very pleasant way of speaking. “Now y’all should listen to this safety bit now, ‘case we get a crisis wiv da choo-choo!”
We’re currently clattering our way through flat fields of corn… just passing a train with 130 wagons full of the stuff. Not much to look at, but for some reason… I don’t care! The landscape is already starting to look very mid-westerly. The sort of place you’d imagine an alien abduction film being set! It’s nice not to be rushing around for a change. We have now finalised the rest of our itinerary, and looking forward to picking up the hire car tomorrow. The time is now 6:30, we have a video, “George of the Jungle”, to follow in an hour, and dinner for 8:45. I think I’m finally beginning to recover from Greylock!
