The last day on the Broughton we tried to use up the leftover food for breakfast then had our washes, showers were off the menu as they require a few hours of engine running to heat the water. Jan and Jane cleaned the inside of the boat while Gary swept down the outside. We finished packing and were underway.
At 8.58 Gary steered us into the boatyard and the boat was returned to the owners. We all got off with Brian helping me with my luggage. After a few goodbyes, Jane helped me across to the railway station to catch the 9.50 train to Oxford.
A fifteen-minute ride and I was walking through the Oxford station to the taxi stand. Twelve English multi-coloured taxi cabs were waiting and off I went to the bus station. The next bus to Cambridge left in 10 minutes. You load your own bags and pay the driver on entry. I picked a seat on what I thought would be the shady side of the bus. I was wrong, but it didn't matter as the windows had some screening and the air condition worked well.
Three hours twenty minutes later I was in Cambridge. I walked down the road and around the corner to the corner of Coronation Street and popped into a coffee shop to wait for the key holder to my Airbnb house. Ten minutes later he arrived and we walked down to number 61. A six bedroom house with on-suites and a shared kitchen.
Once settle I laid down trying to decide if I would have a shower or just go to sleep with my CPAP. After the 18-inch square shower on the boat, I had to try out my new wet room here in coronation street.

My bedroom with a bed slightly wider than the one on the boat.
