We took a train trip today from London to Swindon to visit STEAM: The Museum of the Great Western Railway. I did some studying of train times and prices, and found a low spot for a train at 10:16 out of London Paddington and a return from Swindon at 16:50. The price for two adults return was £76 ($97), which was considerably less than the tickets priced before and after those times. I made the reservations and we made our plans.

Conveniently, there were some items (after shave cream, toothpaste tabs) that I could pick up at Paddington before we returned to Farringdon by the Elizabeth Line. We once again bought groceries and had dinner in the hotel room, as we were way too worn out for go out for dinner.

We did not initially plan to make this trip out to Swindon; indeed, we only got the idea from watching a YouTube video while we were in Reykjavik. I'm glad we did, although it left us very tired.

Tomorrow's plan is for a less ambitious trip: more like 3 km than about 100.
