London

On Sunday, 3rd June, we had another big transfer day. Taxi to the station in Bruges, train to Brussells and then the Eurostar to St Pancras station in London. We then were advised to take a bus to Paddington Station. So the luggage was moved again out of the station and up the road to the bus stop. The bus was quite interesting as it took us past lots of interesting places. From Paddington station we caught the train to Slough, where we were staying for 2 nights. It ended up being a good choice as it was walking distance from the station to London and also to Windsor. It was a tiring day so we had an easy dinner in Slough and then rested. On Monday we headed into London and first stop was Liberty! We enjoyed a lovely wander around this gorgeous shop.








At lunch time we were to meet Rhian, who is the son of Ma's niece. It was such a lovely time. Rhian lives in London and so knows it well. He took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch. It was downstairs from a bar area and was amazing. It was like something out of Downton Abbey but reasonably priced. Well worth a visit if you are in London.


 We also visited Fortnam and Mason and then enjoyed a coffee at a bar overlooking St Paul's Cathedral.




 We then headed back to Sough on the tube and train and had an easy dinner in our rooms.
