No sooner is the little fella back from one adventure, he's off on another ....... this time fulfilling his Christmas present promises to his beloved niece and nephew of a Birmingham chocolate and transport related type nature....... to wit a ride upstairs on a real life, double decker bus and a trip to Cadbury World (of that more tomorrow) with a stay in a hotel in between!
........ Nigel saw it all again through the fresh eyes of excited little ones, who until then, had been total strangers to such untold delights, where even the slightest bump or brake bought squeals of happy laughter ........
....... and when getting up (and down) the stairs and trying to stand upright while the bus was moving was an adventure on it's own to rival any fairground ride!
All this for the princely price of an all day family return ticket (forty minutes of unbridled joy each way) from their hotel to Birmingham city centre, with just a cheeky visit to use the facilities at Burger King, before doing it all over again but in reverse!
Simple pleasures, but with priceless memories laid down, that will last a lifetime and Uncle Nigel fervently promising that in the summer holidays he will take them to Stratford Upon Avon (and all it's historical, theatrical and Christmas shop delectations) on the 28 bus from Evesham ........ happy and occassionally bumpy days!

I don't wish to think about how you used the facilities at Burger King, IN REVERSE! Thank you, very much.
Oh my - such happy memories of a top deck bus ride - such special fun from a child's eye view. So pleased they are able to explore and enjoy these very special childhood pleasures. JantheFan x
