A milonga on the opposite side of town. Some lovely dances, I lost track of time and missed the last tube on my line.
Estimated journey time if I had not missed the tube: 45 mins.
Actual time to get home: 2 hours, 10 minutes (2 separate tube journeys. 3 night buses, 1 ten-minute walk).
The things we do for tango!
I know. There are some places I'd go regularly if they were central - but if they're not, and it doesn't get good till after midnight, there's just no point, because even with just two night buses it takes an hour and a half to get home.

of the dance we had
and thus it's notso
far at all anymore.
After class in a remote part of town, my bus didn't turn up and it was -10°C. The bus would have had me home in 20 minutes. Instead, I had to walk the 70 minute walk home through the freezing cold, trying to keep my balance on icy, snow-impacted pavements. Luckily, I was warmed through from dancing and the music in my head kept me going. Yes, the things we do for tango!
ReplyDeleteMs H - I can't wait for the days when we get teleporters!
