We Made It

We are sitting in the Le Pain Quotidien outside the Victoria and
Albert Museum this morning having the most delicious hot chocolate and
waiting for it to open.

The flight to London was very nice. I have decided that I adore
British Air. The food and wine on the flight were fantatic, even the
coffee was good. The stewards were very pleasant and attentive and I
was very happy.

We got in at about 8:00 and it took us a couple of hours to find our
bus to Cranford where our hotel was located. We had hoped to go and
see Hampton Court yesterday, but I should have remebered how
incapabable we are the first day after the flight. We tried to get a
bus ticket but all the local ticket stops were out so we ended up
walking a few miles into Hounslow the nearest town with a Metro stop.
Sadly the shopkeepers didn't bother to tell us that we could buy a
ticket on the bus.

Needless to say after having a long walk in the sunny but chilly day,
jet-lagged as we were, de d'ère pretty warn out when we finally made
it to the station. We pretty much went back to the hotel around 4:00,
had some dinner and then read a bit and went to sleep.

Today is much better though. We woke up early and are full of energy.
We went to the tube station in Hounslow and there was a lovely open
air market that we had fun exploring. Looking forward to the museums
and the Globe.

More soon...
