Day before Decisions!
5. oktober 2017, Canada ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
Whistler left behind after Board meeting. Noe ready for Mike and Britt’s “Once in a Lifetime” trip to London, Belgium and Luxembourg. All of us excited!

Oh the “how many pairs of Sox” do I really need? “Did I write down that other pub/museum we should go to?” ... pre-travel gitters”!! After all our travels, this scenario never changes 🤗.

One more cuddle with Zac and Josh, a morning workout tomorrow and we’ll be off!

Most of all, really looking forward to having two whole weeks with our Mikey and Britt!!Læs mere

Arrived in Jolly Ol'

Made it! Pretty easy overall - some of us slept, others not so much 😊. I binged out on “the Good Fight” which made time go quickly.

Great 2 bedroom apt on Trafalgar Square!! Upstairs/downstairs even!!

Hard to force ourselves up after deep naps but have to to get into this time zone.

Now off for a bit of exploring and The Coal Hole Pub - R’s fav! and maybe even the oldest wine bar stop @ Gordon’s Wine Bar.
OHHH THESE PUBS! so much fun with these two!!Læs mere

Southbank!!
8. oktober 2017, England ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Ummm..11 am and noon risings today so didn't get into first brew until 3:45 pm! Great ferry ride down the Thames to The Globe for first look. Will return for opening. Good start to the day! For a pub, lunch at The Anchor on Southbank was great! 3 had "pies" mine open faced, Mike had Favourites Platter full of yumminess. Across the Millennium pedestrian bridge to St. Paul's cathedral. Organ recital just ending - a tremendous "noise" by a visiting organist. Peaceful moment, candle lighting off down to Fleet Street for a peek into Cheshire Cheese Pub where Charles Dickens wrote - oldest Pub in London (1538). Strolled down to the astral and stopped for a quick 1/2 pint at The Wellington. Mike had a good chat with the brewer behind the bar. Found (finally!) the Nell Gwynn pub just up an alley of the Strand below Rules restaurant (an old fav of R's and mine) for another 1/2 pint and home with a quick fruit stop along the way.Læs mere

These pics explain words in previous footprint. Southbank over bridge to St Paul's to The Wellington to Nell Gwynn's. Home to freshen up before dinner at Gordon's Wine Bar - oldest in London - seems to be the theme!!Læs mere

First evening adventures
8. oktober 2017, England ⋅ 🌙 9 °C
Short "feet up" after a big 'walk about' day and off to Gordon’s Wine bar only to find it pretty hectic (albeit way cool as we were down in deep cellars and could have come up with food and wine from there to terrace). Tried our infamous sweet tapas bar only to find they had closed their kitchen for Sunday eve!

Finally found a Covent Garden Brasserie called Palm Court which was actually quite lovely! Great meal and home to apartment at 11 for “phone work” LOL!

Another great sleep for all for sure!!Læs mere

Awhh sweet Abbey!
9. oktober 2017, England ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Up at 8:30!! We’re recovering well! Oatmeal brekky and we’re off to Westminster Abbey - short hop away. Spent a divine 2 1/2 hrs there then caught a Black cab to Portobello Road for lunch (The Duke of Wellington) and poking about - and of course a pic of 280 Portobello Road - check out (next footprint) my hilarious friend who said nothing, popped into my photo and strolled off!
Caught the tube back for Britt’s first time on the underground. Bevin sez “I never run for trains” and promptly hopped onto the next one leaving Mike, Britt and Rich back on the platform! So funny!!! still laughing! Hopped off, waited and then grabbed the next train, the one they were on.
Quick 1/2 pints etc at The Harp near us, a freshening up and off to our first Theater production!! Book of Mormon!Læs mere

Knowing the "hood"!

Stop for a quick one up the hill at The Harp before heading to the apartment to freshen for the eve.
Book of Morman production did not disappoint - was as funny as the first time! Fun to see Mike split a gut at the humour too.Læs mere

Shirts day for the "Boys"
10. oktober 2017, England ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Breakfast out today! At a darling cafe just across the street.

Unhappy knee had us grab a black cab instead of the Tube for our shopping destination of Charles Tywhitt - Rich's fav for over 20 years. Nice to introduce Mike to same.

Quick grab of a longer sweater for moi (didn't bring warm enough clothes!) Kids off to a craft brewery (see pics of their fun time on next entry), us to Courthauld for a gallery tour of some Impressionists, pre and post. Beautiful small gallery in the lovely setting of Somerset House. love the cafe there as well - great soup and artisan bread.

Back to apartment for knee resting and nap. Off for a Britt favourite show Matilda!Læs mere
