Hi all, I’m back!
We had a wonderful few days in London. We stayed at the Union Jack Club in Waterloo, it’s a 3*** hotel that caters for servicemen and their guests. I think that £130 for a weekend for 2 in the City centre was pretty fair.
Her ladyship and myself were dead keen to travel on the London Eye. It was a fantastic experience, it was far bigger than I had imagined. Once the capsule has reached it s apex, the views are absolutely astonishing.
Later we walked along the South Bank through part of the old docklands where much regeneration is taking place, we stopped at a couple of pubs en-route and walked as far as Tower Bridge.
The best part of our weekend was the evening at the Albert Hall where we enjoyed a “Classical spectacular”. The Royal Philharmonic combined with the Grenadier Guards and the Royal Choral society for just under a 3 hour marathon of astonishing music. The next show, other than the Last night of the Proms, is next November. IMO, it’s well worth attending.
A great weekend, next week we're off to Italy, meanwhile you'll all have to put up with me for a few more days.
Englishman.
