Day 36 August 16th Day 2 in London.
Today was Fay’s day. At 11:30am we met her niece and nephew who live at South Croydon. We enjoyed a chat over a long lunch with them at St Kathryn’s Lock; this is a marina with expensive apartment blocks shops and restaurants built around its edge; the marina used to be shipping wharfs and warehouses. There are many expensive motor boats and yachts tied up. They enter the Thames River via the lock.
After lunch we walked with S and I across London Bridge to London Bridge Railway station where they catch their train to South Croydon. After saying good bye were returned to our hotel. On the way we rested in a small park and enjoyed “Mr Whippy” type of soft serve ice cream. Upon reaching our hotel we repacked our luggage and rested in preparation for our long flight via Munich to San Francisco the next day when we will have an early 7am start. We catch the underground at Tower Hill station about 300 meters from our hotel; it will cost £2.40 each for the 1¼ hour trip to Terminal 1 at Heathrow.
