London

Wednesday

Today was a travelling day. After a leisurely morning we were on a very full plane on Vueling airlines (Spanish & cheap!) arrived at Heathrow among the throng at about 3.40 PM.

A mix up with booked cabs that didn't turn up caused a bit of a hassle, but some many pounds later (cab fare from airport) we were safely ensconced in our B&B, in Greenwich.

Catching up with very good friend Fi at Dave's wine bar in the evening rounded out the day.

Thursday

A day wandering around Greenwich.

We actually moved to Fiona's place today, great to be in a comfortable home with a full fridge and with long time friends. I won't go into boring detail about catching up with domestic duties!

We went for a bit of an explore around Greenwich, walked along the Thames riverbank, and attempted to visit the "Cutty Sark" an 1800's Clipper Ship, but much to John's disappointment it is all blocked off, undergoing major renovations it seems.

The day finished with another day reminiscing and laughing a lot with Fi & Leann.
