So what does one do on the day before they fly? I decided to go back to Covent Garden. Just for something to do. Not that there was a whole lot I hadn't seen but I enjoyed watching the performers and grabbing a bit of lunch. Then I got back on the train and headed back to where I started from. I don't think I planed this very well. I had a manicure and pedicure booked at twelve so that finished around one thirty. It was really nice, I almost fell asleep. Then, s...

This morning, despite being pretty unenthusiastic about doing anything really, I made my way to Westminster station to catch one of the river boats. The cruise was basically the same as the bus tours but from the river. I might have enjoyed it more on a somewhat warmer day. The weather was beautiful just chilly. The commentary was good. Provided in four languages. English, Irish, Scottish, and Rubbish. I'm quoting here. I stayed on until it reached the Tower of...

I had a bit of a sleep in this morning and headed out at ten thirty. I took the train to the London Eye. I'm really glad I booked my ticket on line because the line for the tickets was pretty long. The line for the Eye itself wasn't too bad and I was on in about ten minutes. What a fantastic experience. It was a beautiful day and I could see for miles. After the Eye I did the short 4D presentation they do. It's basically just an ad for the London Eye in 4D. I lo...

I was up early this morning. Went to use the loo and realized it was blocked. Had been blocked the last time I used it too. Not very nice. They're going to fix it today so here's hoping. I jumped on the underground and headed into the city to Harrods. I just wish I'd checked what time it opened. I got there nine thirty and it opened at ten. That was okay, I got myself a coffee and wandered the streets for a bit. I was almost lost but by the time I wanted to head ...

We said good bye to the rest of the group this morning. Vic and Daniel came down to see us off. Then it was on the coach out of Paris. I snoozed most of the trip to Calais so I didn't really see much if the county side. We reached Calais around twelve thirty and went through customs there. I got a really chatty customs officer who was really nice but I had just woken up from a snooze and was feeling pretty sluggish, he probably thought I was being rude. Then we ...
