I didn't really have any plans for doing anything today. I thought that I would go out for a walk into town to do some window shopping (I don't need any windows but it's always good to have a look).
I was walking past a bus stop as a bus was coming to it, so I thought that I'd get on it. So rather than walking around doing nothing today. I thought that I would spend the day going around London doing just as much.
It might bring out the bus spotter in me, but I like sitting on buses watching the world go by. If I'm not in any hurry, it can be quite relaxing just sitting there. It also gives me a view of parts of London I've never been to before.
I ended up travelling around for about seven hours on ten buses and a DLR train. Here is the list of buses I went on today:
Route To
246 Biggin Hill
R2 Orpington
61 Chislehurst
161 Woolwich
DLR Canary Wharf
135 Liverpool St
11 Chelsea
319 Clapham
G1 Tooting
264 Croydon
119 Back home to Bromley
Some statistics from the day:
Total Cost: £1.60 (Thanks to my bus pass)
Number of buses that changed destination while I was on it: Two
Nuber of men spotted being led around by their girlfriend with a leash: One
Number of men walking around in their boxer shorts: Two
Number of golf courses the buses stopped at: One
(The busstop was right next to the first tee)
Number of times that I got lost going between two bus stops: One
Number of buses that I was on that broke down: None
Number of people I wanted to srangle as they spent all their time chatting on their mobiles: Four
The worst was the last one who spent the shole journey complaining to her brother that she had to go to Bromley to go to the cinema. She then complained that her battery had almost run out. I didn't have the heart to tell her that the bus stop she got off was at the wrong end of town. Oh well...
Bye for now
