So let me get this right - I can fly 4,923 miles from Austin, Texas to London Heathrow in 10 hours and 35 minutes, but the last 147 miles from Heathrow is going to take me another day?
Apparently the train service to Norwich is disrupted due to engineering works and is running a bus replacement service (given the number of times they've worked on that track, you'd expect it to be the most highly-engineered bit of rail in the world). If I'm going to end up being on a bus instead of a train, it may as well be a coach. But National Express leave just 20 minutes after my flight lands - from a different terminal. That's never going to work, and the next coach leaves four hours later. A cab is £150. Car hire is out of the question, since I don't yet have my new license after the wallet stealing incident.
I think I'll just stay here and enjoy the Texan hospitality some more until the UK gets a proper transport infrastructure.
