In London, briefly

Yes, we've left the continent, and are now in the UK. On the way to the Chunnel, someone commented that France all looks the same (because of the snow everywhere). Well, when we got to England, it looked the same as France, only with extra snow!

Of course, the trains were all running behind schedule, and we missed our connection with the Eurostar, but we were relatively easily booked onto the next one, an hour later. Of course, that one was running even further behind time, so we ended up getting to London about two hours later than planned.

Or hotel is about a 10 minute walk from St Pancras Station, where the Eurostar stops. On the way, we passed a rather inviting-looking English pub,  so after settling in we returned there and enjoyed a lovely English pub meal!

We've looked at some of the things we can do when we come back to London on the 24th and booked a "flight" on the London Eye, but tomorrow we head to Edinbrrrrrrrr!
