This will be my last blog entry for this trip. It's a summary of my last few days in London.
Becky and I checked out of our hotel in Greenwich the day before yesterday and headed to Paddington. I dropped my bags off at the Hilton in Paddington and Becky and I had lunch together before I saw her off on the Heathrow express.
Then I met up with my friend Kris and we headed out to the open air theatre at Regents Park to see a musical comedy called "Shucked". It was a lovely sunny afternoon and the performance was excellent.
Kris and I had dinner at Franco Manca afterwards and then sat chatting at the Costa in Paddington until it was closing and we got kicked out. It was a great day together.
Yesterday, I met up with my old school friend Gurjit and we had an amazing afternoon tea at Taj near Buckingham Palace.
Then we walked over to Hyde park and toured an art exhibit at the Serpentine Gallery. It was so nice to see Gurjit again after so many years.
Today is my last day in London. I was due to meet another friend, but she had to cancel. So after I check out of my hotel here in Paddington I'll probably just wander round the shops before heading out to Heathrow. I have one more night at the hotel in Terminal 2 before flying home on Sunday.
It used to be called "Appletise". Changing it was obviously a stupid decision as it is bound to cause confusion. I remember a funny incident once when I was on the train. I went to the buffet to get a coffee and the person in front of me saw Appletise on the shelf behind the bar and asked for it. The person serving said "I'm sorry, that's only for first class passengers"!!
