Bletchley Park with Dan and Krisie

Image
Day after Groan-Ups we went with  Dan and Krisie to Bletchley Park for lunch and to look around the museum, before taking D&K to Milton Keynes station for their journey home. Lots of changes, more exhibits and atmospheric huts set with coats and hats on hangers and bags by chairs as if the staff had just popped out. However an adult ticket costs £20, and although it is valid for a year I doubt we'll re-use it as we saw everything in one visit.  Dan in mansion entrance Also,   we didn't learn anything we didn't already know.

Travel home from Verona

Image
BA2597 from Verona left at the reasonable time of 11:50, so had time for an excellent breakfast at the hotel. Verona airport wasn't much, and the lounge was outside security, but the plane left on time, Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne was good and plentiful and we landed at Gatwick early of our scheduled 12:55.
