Trip to High Wycombe via Hemel Hempstead
On Friday 15th April I decided to visit my new friend Erika I met on a plane back to Luton. She works as an au pair in High Wycombe, a small town on the way from London to Oxford. I booked a return ticket on the same day, it cost me about 12 pounds. On Sunday at around 11:30 in the morning I set out on my trip...
My bus to Hemel Hempstead was leaving at 11:45 from the Luton bus station. I came there 10 minutes in advance to make sure I didn't miss the bus. When it was 11:50, I started to be a bit nervous because my second bus from Hemel Hempstead was leaving quite soon after my arrival to that town. At noon I became really angry still waiting for the bus to come. :-/ Actually, buses were coming but none of them was mine. At about quarter past twelve another bus heading to Hemel Hempstead came. I was really surprised that the driver took me on the bus without any troubles although my e-ticket wasn't valid.
Well, as you might guess, I got to Hemel Hempstead but I missed my bus to High Wycombe. We arrived at about one o'clock in the afternoon and the next bus to Erika's place was leaving at 15:15. :-) Thus I grabbed my camera decided to explore the town, take some pictures and have a snack. Fortunately, the time was passing pretty quickly and I eventually got on the bus to High Wycombe. I took me more than five hours in total to get there! But it was worth undergoing, we had a nice afternoon...
Though the journey home was boring and tedious, it didn't take soo long as the first journey on that day. I got home at half past nine, had a small dinner and went to bed. Considering all pros and cons, it was a nice trip! Certainly better than sitting in Luton...
