Bad Wildbad to London

June 6, 2018 in the United Kingdom ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

A long travel day so not much to report today. Left my beautiful spot in the Black Forest around 8:30 for the drive to Munich, about 3 1/2 hours. Uneventful. Flight was not until almost 5P so a long wait in the airport. Left a little late and arrived London an hour late. Then the various forms of transportation to get to my final destination, my new flat in London. Gatwick Express to Victoria Station, tube to Earl's Court to pick up key (owner of the flat is on vacation). Then a walk to the apartment about 1/2 mile away. All went smoothly and arrived about 8:30PM.

Long days in London this time of year. Still some light at 10PM and also at 5AM. Out to dinner and some much needed wine. High Street Kensington is just around the corner, tons of cafes, restaurants, and shopping areas. Entrance to Holland Park right across the street and a supermarket around the corner. Tube is about 5-7 minutes walk. Very convenient to all. Had light dinner at Cafe Concerto - very good as was the wine!! Back to flat to fall into bed.
No pics today.

Great location! I am remembering the fun day we had in the area last spring :-)

The flat is across the South entrance to Holland Park. I walked there yesterday and went back to the Kyoto Garden - remember where the ducks had their next and ducklings on that little island in the middle? Sadly too late for all those beautiful tulips.
