Day 19- London > Ely 27 Sept 2013

Up early and off to the tube station, today we start our driving holiday and we are off to pickup the car up from Marble Arch. It is 8:30 and the central line is very busy, trains arrive every minute, all packed with commuters, not a place for tourists with suit cases, after about 15 minutes we can finally jump in a carriage, the peak is finally lighter and we head off.

We pickup the car and we are on our way, I decide to upgrade from a Hyundai I20 to a VW Golf TDI, my first diesel car, the boot is a little bigger and seems to handle well. Will be interesting to see how the economy goes.

We head through the suburbs and out onto the motorway, soon we are making our way too Cambridge for lunch, the weather is holding up for us as we stroll around the town, eating our pasties and enjoying the day.

Back in the car it is not long before we are back on the motorway and heading for Ely, it is only a short trip and soon the cathedral is looming on the horizon.

We check into the hotel and have a quick look around, the cathedral is closed today but tomorrow it is open for business as usual.
