A Welcome Break!

We had a fantastic time in London! We had an ACTION PACKED time in London! We left our house at 6am on Saturday and drove to Durham?teesside Airport for the 8am flight to London, Heathrow. We arrived at 8.50! We made our way to South Kensington and left our case at the Hotel, then off we went for a full afternoon in the Science Museum. We walked back to the hotel, had a rest & shower then off we went in search of liquid refresments! Th hotel had it's own Italian Restaurant so we had a lovely meal with a nice cold white wine and watched the world go by. We slept well!!! Sunday, as expected was very hot, so we decided it would be coolest near the River Thames. We spent the day on a river cruise, hopping off and on at various stops along the way. We had lunch on the Embankment and Jon spent some time in The tower Bridge Exhibition beforw we walked up the riverside to the Tate Modern where I spent some time. After a lovely Italian pizza we made our way on the sea clipper to London Bridge where we caught the underground to Green Park where we changed for Heathrow. We arrived at 7.45 at Heathrow and after a short delay our plane left at 9.15pm. We arrived home around 11ish! Ready for a cold beer! Fantastic weekend!
