Eric needs to be prodded though, but soon decides to recount some of his adventures to his new chums- Herbie, Ermie and Barney.
Lots of trains to Euston from last night's abode were cancelled this morning. There is one train still running that will get us there in time for the walk to Paddington and the homeward bound train. As it arrives at the platform we can see it is already very full, with people standing. The doors open and nobody moves to make room for us to get on - some rugby tactics are required, but we do find a space. Two more stops and more people squeeze in - starting to panic a bit now. Someone gets off and we manage to move to outside the toilet where there is room to brace yourself against the wall and a bar to hang on to. Glad this is only half an hour. On arrival we step off the train and wait for all the crowd to exit the turnstiles before we do.
Eric can't resist the role of tourist as we cross London
Regent's Park looks interesting.
An addition to the super heroes?
I've been told it's cheaper to just catch the relevant iconic London Red Bus.
At Paddington Eric sees a fellow traveller who he thinks must have just got off the train we are about catch back to Wales
