We returned the car without incident, which, to the left hand situated passenger, was shocking. I mean, we didn't run in to anything, but we had half of Cornwall plastered on one side of our car. I believe that is the fashionable way to keep a car in SW England. :)
We took the train to London, and then a taxi to our hotel, where we deposited our luggage, and tubed down to the Westminster Pier.
I will concede that mass transportation in London is incredibly convenient. You can go anywhere in half the time of a car. It's safe, relatively cheap, and fast. But after the wide open spaces in Cornwall, being literally underground, and with so many people, was hard to take.
We only had a half day, so we joined one of those Hop On, Hop Off tours where you can see parts of London by bus or boat. We started our tour on the Thames. It was a beautiful day -- even got a little sunburn. So much history to absorb.
Then we hopped off and found us some coffee. We've had an abundance of tea on this trip, but have otherwise been under caffeinated. :) While delicious, early grey tea does not give the same jolt as a cup of coffee!
Ain't she cute? As it was late in the day, we only had time for one small part of the "red line" tour before heading home to our hotel. Beautiful city!
Glad we didn't have to drive in London... ;)
Back a our hotel we had the best dinner at Carluccio's. Pasta that we can't pronounce and amazing desserts. Even though we are already home, we'll have one more blog tomorrow!
