Kirkwall; Thursday, 10 August, 2006

I woke up at some point during the night, by then the train had changed directions and as I popped to the toilet I spotted us passing through Warrington Bank Quay station, already in England and heading steadily south.

At a little after 7am with breakfast by my bed we passed through Harrow and past the tube, signifying most defiantly the entry into London. 15 minutes early the train pulled to a halt in Euston station and I headed towards the front of the station and the bus home to a hot shower and then work for 10:30!

As I got in through the door my watch chimed 9am, 23 hours and 45 minutes after checking out of the hotel in Kirkwall I was back at home.
