UNEXPECTED THINGS HAPPEN

And don’t the unexpected often happen while travelling.

Yesterday I left off with finally boarding the plane and wondering how I’d sleep. Not the best sleep but not the worst. I slept for maybe 4 1/2 hours. Part was my fault. I didn’t lower the seat to its full relaxed position. Once I did that in the middle of the night I slept better.

So today.

Arrived in London. Had to wait as another plane was at our gate. Some people were not happy. But once off the plane things in Heathrow went quite smoothly. Long lines of people but they moved quickly. Yay. Then got a taxi to take us to our hotels. Ugh. Took 2 hours. Unexpected. But I’m here.

I’m staying at The Tower Hotel. https://www.guoman.com/the-tower?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=gmb_website_click

Very big hotel. My room is a perfect size for me. Queen bed. Living area. Nice sized bathroom. Yay.

The unexpected? Being so late checking in a lot of today’s touring hours were lost. I’m amazed at how much we did see in just a few hours.

You have got to be kidding. Not for me. I don’t do heights or glass. Bravo Kathryn and Scott. You did the family proud.

While they soared I browsed. And ate ice cream. Worked for me. Richard would call this a “99”. Very good.

London Bridge. Palace of Westminster. Big Ben. Westminster Abbey. Buckingham Palace. Not bad for being tired.

And one of their Red Telephone Boxes.

By now totally wiped. Off for a bit of supper and then in for the night.

Not a bad view from my room.

Now some much needed sleep.

Ooooo. Exciting plans for tomorrow. Can’t wait to tell you all about it.
