From Nottingham to London
Today (Wednesday) was a bittersweet day. We had to say goodbye to Laura and Daniel who were awesome tour guides and great hosts. We proceeded on to the next leg of our trip. The morning was super relaxing – packing and a visit to the grocery store was all that was needed. Laura drove us to the train station and we got off without any issues. The 2 hour train to the St. Pancras train station in London was pretty uneventful. We arrived around 3:30 and then the real fun began! We had to quickly figure out the Underground and get to our hotel just on the outskirts of the city of London.
We had a 6 o’clock dinner reservation so we had to get ready in record time. We caught a cab to take us to dinner and the driver had no idea where we needed to go. Our restaurant was literally across from Her Majesty’s Theatre. How can you be a cab driver in London and not know where Her Majesty’s Theatre is?! Well, we eventually got to the restaurant 5 minutes past our reservation – not too bad for using the Google maps in Richie’s phone in a place we have never been! We had a delicious Indian dinner and headed across to the street to see The Phantom of the Opera (Link)!!!!!
What a ridiculously amazing show. Believe it or not, I don’t think I have the words to describe the experience! Even though it was a musical, Richie loved it! It truly was a once in a lifetime experience to see a show on The West End and our quick visit to London could not have started off on a better note 😉
Tomorrow is a busy one – lots to do and see in London.
