Getting to Land's End, England

Ahhh!!! How did this happen so fast?? I've never done back-to-back tours before. However, the USA has won back-to-back world wars so top that. 

When we were planning this trip, we went back and forth on a few options. Should we keep it small and just do Wales or should we go all out and include the nasty Isle of Man? (Nasty because of their flag. Go look at it. Who does that?) We decided to keep it simple and ride the popular route from Land's End, England to John O' Groats, Scotland - a classic one end of the country to the other end type of tour. Not unlike what we just experienced with Korea. 

As I said in the previous post we are using our Montague bikes - full-size foldable pieces of equipment. They have been collecting dust for almost five years here in England at Holly's house. We used them during our Japan tour. We also broke many spokes as I've mentioned hundreds of thousands of times already. So when we sent the bikes into the shop to be tuned up we told them to build us a wheel worthy of Mordor. Now we'll be putting it to the test.

Trains are such a coolo way to travel. I'm not sure if I like ferries or trains more but both sure beat flying and driving in a car. The best form of traveling is, of course, by bicycle.

For the 6 or so car train, there are only 4 bike racks. That's dumb. There should be racks in each car.

I'm just glad we got on a stop before the masses so we could get the coveted table seat. At some point in the journey, people were standing, or sitting on the floors.

Almost six hours later and we've arrived in Penzance! Fun fact, last time we were in Penzance was in 2021 during our honeymoon. I think that's a sign.

We stayed here at our first Warmshowers host. This house is so neat. I loved the layout. And I didn't even go upstairs.
