    London to Paris

    2–5 Jul, England ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    2 nights and 1 day in London before heading to Paris with David & Diane. Got an important task out of the way on our first night - getting the gel nail polish redone on my toes 😁
    We were tired so ending up eating porridge and fruit in our room for dinner! We are definitely not going hungry so a light dinner did us good.
    Found a fabulous little cafe just down the street for our breakfast named Cappadocia then headed off on the underground to Holborn station so we could go to the British Museum. I looked at tickets last night but Neil wasn’t sure if he wanted to go so I didn’t book them. Big Mistake - first lines were for the people with online tickets, we had to go round the back of the Museum, 2 blocks, to get to the ticket office but the line was so long we decided against it.
    Back on the underground to Marble Arch station so I could go to Frameless Immersive Art Experience. It was fabulous, the famous paintings were bought to life on walls, floor and ceiling with music to match each scene. I took many videos but unfortunately I can only attach 2 to this post. If you are ever in London it is a must see.
    Lunch at a small Italian restaurant up a narrow alleyway where all the office workers seemed to be then back on the underground to our hotel. I am a huge tennis fan so settled in to watch Wimbledon on the tele before heading out to dinner at a restaurant called Camino, where we had tapas last time we were in London, at the beginning of our trip. That time it was busy but comfortably so, this time it was heaving with people. Word must have got round about how good it was.
    At Kings Cross Station there were some food stalls and Neil spotted two different types of beef mince pies BUT we have no microwave in the tiny hotel room we are in and we are off to Paris tomorrow, no food allowed on train so he had to leave them there 😆 poor Bully.
    For some reason we did not take many photos this time in London so you can have some of food instead.
    On the 4th July we met David & Diane at St Pancras station and hopped on the Eurostar to Paris. Trains are a fantastic way to travel, so smooth and comfortable. Diane booked us an AirBnB, a two bedroom apartment on the 2nd floor in a mainly residential area. It will be a wonderful place to stay until the 8th July.    Baca lagi
