Vacation Part 6

Alas it's Thursday, September 3rd - my last day in England. I fly out tomorrow morning at 8:30am. The car will be here at 6am! Another early morning and then many hours of flying. Of course at the end of the day I will get to shower in my own place and sleep in my own bed. I really can't wait for that :)

Tuesday I spent the day wandering and saw Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden, and a number of other random attractions as I wandered about. I did go to Harrods, but didn't buy anything there. Tuesday night I went to the theatre. Guess what I saw?!?! Read it at the end :) I paid £15 for the ticket and now know why the ticket was so cheap. Let's just say if the guy in front of me leaned forward he blocked my view. It worked out, but I would spend more next time. I did enjoy the show very much.

Yesterday I woke up before 5am to get to the Aerostar Train station for 6am. It was a good trip. Toured the city on bus and a Seine River cruise and had a champagne lunch at the Eiffel Tower. It was great and the other people on the tour were awesome. Then we went to Le Louvre for a guided tour. I really should have gone on my own at that point, but it was good. We then headed back to the bus for our trip to the train station. It was a very long day, but I'm glad I did it.

Today I took my time getting up and went out for a few last minute things. Now I'm relaxing and waiting for y cousin to come home so we can go to a local pub for dinner. This has been a excellent vacation!!

Oh...almost forgot...I saw the theatrical performance of Dirty Dancing!!
