   I think that still works; taking a tour bus to see a crystal waterfall is    
   an "event" in and of itself, rather than a means of getting from A to B.   
      
   What does bug me is why it doesn't occur to the Pond-Williamses to take a    
   bus or train to somewhere the TARDIS can get to, and stop being "trapped"    
   in New York.
