6-8-2015 London

Started early and booked my National Express Bus from Victoria Coach Station to Cambridge. Cost 15 pounds but takes 3.5 hours. I had to download the ticket to a memory stick then get the Hall office to print me a paper copy.

If I get the 8.30 bus it will get me to Cambridge City Centre by 10.45, giving me 15 mins to walk to the library (not including getting lost on the way). The Tube is still on strike so I will need to travel to the Victoria Coach Station by surface (Bus 52 then walk). Trains were not affected but getting to the station (Kings-cross or Liverpool St(?)) was going to be difficult as the bus will be used as the alternative to the Tube. I will leave early in the morning in case of heavy passenger traffic using the buses.

After breakfast I walked to the Booths Chemist and bought their sandwiches and a fruit drink (for lunch). I then walked to NHM to finish putting species names to my photos in the PMB photo archive and updated the XL file for 2015. Still need to update the earlier XL list of images.

Worked quickly and was done by Lunch. Was invited to the Staff Caf for lunch and it was pleasant. I will go "home" early to get ready for tomorrow's trip to Cambridge. I will double check all my routes and print them off if I can (or have the computer handy).

Said my goodbyes; the NHM is an excellent place to work as a student/researcher.
