Rickmansworth, London, Coventry, England
10:14am Get out of bed
11:30am With all our luggage on our backs and in our hands we say boodbye to our wonderful host Leah and head to the tube station
12:36pm Arrive at Victoria Coach Station. Left Luggage at the Left Luggage desk to make it easier to see more of London
1:12pm Saw Buckingham Palace and Victoria Fountain
1:30pm Reach Hyde Park to check out the winter wonderland
2:08pm Sat down for a snack break. The squirrels and pigeons moved in.
2:11pm While Lynette was getting ready to take a picture of a squirrel that was about to jump on my lap, another squirrel scurried up her leg! Unbelievable!
2:48pm Head into a little restaurant to warm up a bit and to figure out where we wanted to head to next
5:10pm Arrive back to Victoria Coach Station to wait for the bus to Coventry after going to the Tower Bridge. While we were there we found a German Market bought some candy and bratwurst. As we were crossing back over to the north side of the river, a boat wanted to cross under the bridge. We stopped and waited as the bridge was drawn up.
5:20pm Whipped out Mark’s Christmas present Blokus and started to play as we waited for the bus.
6:10pm At this point we are supposed to be sitting on a bus but it has yet to arrive. The room kept getting smaller and smaller.
8:25pm I can’t remember when we actually started moving but right now we have stopped.
8:32pm It seems at this point we await a new bus driver
8:37pm The bus starts moving again….with the same driver.
9:25pm Mark and Dad pick us up. The bus was only 35 minutes late. Hey but it only cost 5 pounds.
9:51pm Arrive at Hilary and Mark’s. Unpack all Christmas gifts and wrap them.
11:10pm Find sleep in the pull out in the dining room.
