ITINERARY:
JOURNAL ENTRY:
Drove back to London to return the car rental. Had to walk through some tricky parts to get across the street to the Hyatt Place. We made it!!
Rested for a bit, then took the bus to the airport so we could take the Underground to the "Tower Hill" station. We had no issues navigating the Underground lines that we needed to be on. it was just like remembering how to fall off a bike!!
Got to the Tower Hill station and walked directly to the restaurant from the last time we visited the Tower Bridge, Vapiano. We both ordered pasta and garlic bread. Barb got another Appletiser. Yum!!
Walked around the London Bridge and London Tower area. We were looking for a dessert place and stumbled across Zizzi's!! Barb ordered the lemon cheesecake and Phil ordered the Panna Cotta, which was EXTREMELY underwhelming. The lemon cheesecake was good, but very small. Both were disappointing.
Wandered around some more. Found a Tesco, so we could buy some treats for the flight home. Bought Kinder, Buttermints, and Tangfastics.
Took the Underground back to the airport. Got our money back + depost on the Oyster Card. Headed bak to the bus area to await our bus back to the hotel. We were waiting at the drop-off area instead of the pick-up area. Phil spoke to the bus driver, and he said he would pick us up in a different area. Phil misunderstood the area and we went across the bus parking section and were told that we shouldn't be there. We were escorted by the guard to the proper location.
Barb felt like crawling under a rock with embarrassment. When we did get on the bus from the right area, the driver wasn't phased. He joked with Phil. Barb just crawled to the back of the bus. Yeesh!
