Monday 14th July

A cruising free day. We said goodbye to Chris and Alan and then took the train 1 stop to Bletchley Park to visit the code breaking centre. It was a fascinating place and even after 5 hours we had not seen everything. The ticket is valid for a year so we would like to return - maybe by a faster mode of transport. The mansion below is surrounded by the huts where the main work was done. At its peak about 10,000 people worked here and no one breathed a word about what they did. In fact the people in one hut didn't know what was going on in another hut.

Some of the huts and the type of bicycles many rode to work. The accommodation was off site.
