April 9th & 10th - London

My last full day in London started out with breakfast in the hotel (it was included in my cost), then I took the tube over to the Waterloo Station to do the London Eye. There was a long line, but it moves fast. This was an experience - a little hard for me to do because I am scared of heights and the capsule is almost completely made of glass, but I enjoyed it (but no need to do it again) and got some good pictures. I decided to skip the Imperial War museum, and headed over to Harrods (this is a tradition, must do whenever I'm in London) for some shopping. I then walked up to Hyde Park where I saw the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain.I took a bus back to the hotel, then found an internet cafe to catch up on emails. I walked back to each of the theatres I'd been to the day before and took pictures of the marquis, stopped at a bookstore for the latest Harry Potter book in paperback, did a little bit of souvenier shopping, and explored Leister Square and Chinatown on my way back to the hotel (in the rain). I bought a smoked ham and mozarella baguette in a store at the Charing Cross Station then went back to the room. Packed up all my things and got ready to leave the next day.
I had arranged to have a taxi pick me up at 8am on the 10th, so I ate breakfast, checked out, and got into my cab to Paddington Station. I made it there in time for the 825am Heathrow Express train to the airport. I was scheduled on the 1150am United flight from Heathrow, through Washington Dulles, back into Orlando at 703pm. I spent some more money in the Duty Free shops before exchanging the remaining Pounds back in to US Dollars. I had another uneventful flight, and was happy to be home. My friends David and Jack were waiting for me as I walked off the plane, and they drove me to their home to pick up my car. This was a great trip, and I was happy to have shared this with my parents. Where will next year take me???
