Susanna and I are enjoying our last minutes in London at the SAS Lounge in Heathrow Airport (it is a nice benefit of being a Star Alliance Gold member – I can use the lounges on international flights). Next stop is Ottawa on Air Canada.
The last full day in London was a blast. We went to Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum in the morning. It was well worth the time spent there – lots of fun. Susanna didn’t make the scream tunnel (too scary I think), but her mom, Charlotte, and I went through. I thought it was funny (not too scary), but the girls in the line behind me were terrified (they were holding on to my coat for dear life the whole walk – and I didn’t even know them).
We had lunch at a hamburger place nearby, and then off to shopping (okay, not the whole day was fun), We spent way too long at Primark shopping for clothes. Dan got bored and went for a drink. I eventually wandered outside and sat on the street to watch people walk by.
We returned home in the early afternoon. Susanna and I went town to the hotel spa. It was a little disappointing. The steam room was nice, but the hot tub wasn’t so hot (more of a warm tub). That night we went to Cafe Rouge for Dan’s birthday dinner (after drinks, games and gifts in the hotel room).
This morning we were up early and took the underground to the airport. I recommend getting an oyster card to get around if you go to London. It is a prepaid card – you are charged the lowest rate for each trip you do. No stressing about paper tickets.
As promised, pictures from the trip:
Hi Chuck, You know, I also do a bit of woodworking. Also, your late uncle John was very talented (at woodworking). If you like, I will send pictures of some of my projects. Rick
I know he was. I am still learning – but I imagine one is always learning in this hobby. I would love to see pictures.
