We Made It To Guys Thatched Village

We had an overnight flight from Toronto to Manchester. The airport was crazy busy and for the first time in ages we decided to check a bag. We arrived at the airport a little early and had to wait an hour to get our bag checked. The flight was full but uneventful. It took almost an hour to get our bag back when we landed; we really do prefer traveling with only carry-on. The Manchester Airport was really easy to navigate, and the train station was right on site. While we were trying to figure out where to get our tickets , someone asked us about our accents. As a result, we met some lovely Scottish ladies who were returning from a girl's vacation in Greece. They were heading back to Glasgow, and we were on the same train. They were so much fun to chat with and very helpful. Once we arrived in Preston we decided to find some lunch. We stopped in at the Old Vic pub. No food but very good beer and very friendly people. More new friends. We arranged for an Uber to take us to Guys Thatched Village where we are spending the night. Our Uber driver was really friendly too. It was a long ride, but he shared so many interesting stories that it went by quickly. Guy's is a very quaint place and quite close to where we pick up the narrowboat tomorrow afternoon. We finally had something to eat and went for a nice long walk. Early night tonight to try and get back on a regular schedule.Read more
