27 Sept Friday London - final day in London before next tour

27 Sept Friday - London transfer from apartment to Marble Arch Hotel

We moved from the apartment to the Hotel where the next organised tour was to start at some ungodly hour( 5.30am) on Sat.

While we could ( as before) have bumped and tugged our luggage up and down the steps in the tube station, we decided to get a mini cab instead.

Emma was back with us for the day and the mini cab ride was a great way, due to our meticulous timing ( read 'pure luck'), to see the changing of the guard and Buckingham Palace as we went by in the luxury of the mini cab.

At the new Hotel, we were a hop step and jump from Oxford street.  I quite liked Selfridges shop window displays.

 Our guide (Emma) directed us "round here, turn there, right here, down this way, just a little way here" to a coffee shop for a light lunch. Nothing quite like the personal local guide who knows what you'd like!

Jonathan then made his own way back to the hotel and Emma and I went to the Tower of London ( with Kermy and his Spanish friend)

And then it was time to go.

Later, we returned to the Hotel via Liverpool Station ( one of the largest stations).

After this the three of us went for a final London dinner.

 And then it was bye bye Emma - until Paris!
