How time fly's; our last full day in London. This was a special day indeed, as Sarah, Tracy her flat mate, Judy and Lloyd, spent the day and evening soaking up London culture. We went to CamdenTown, an area of markets and shops on the streets. Very busy, very different, a million people in a small area. Another culture shock for Lloyd. Lots of youth, in various states of style and dress and decoration. You name it we probably saw it....and Judy did manage to purchase another purse there, a funky one. We were joined for a while by Nathan, Sarahs Alberta friend.
We then made our way by transit to Victoria station and walked to the River Thames area by the London Eye. We walked along the river area, experiencing the sights and sounds, and were joined by several of Sarahs Canadian teaching friends for dinner. Nathan and his parents, who were visiting him from Alberta joined as well. We had a great dinner. After dinner it was more strolling along the Thames and eventually holding up at an outdoor bar where we all socialized, overlooking the London skyline and Thames. Had to keep pinching ourselves to be sure it was true.
After a day and night of touring and socializing we headed off to the trains, tubes and buses for our rides back to the flat. A marvelous day, and a great ending to a wonderful trip.
Our return to PEI was without incident, airplane left on time, arriving in Halifax 30 minutes ahead of schedule. After picking up our car in Halifax, Judy and Lloyd got their Tim coffees, drove to PEI and were greated in Stratford by Judy, Mark, Melissa, Robbie, Mia and Griffin.
Great trip, great to be home. We are truly blessed!
