First Day In London May 18, 2010
Posted by tiffany in : London , trackbackThe Ferry ride to the UK was quite the experience. I figured it would be a flat boat with cars and people intermingling with nothing to do for the long trip across the Channel. I was dead wrong! It was a full- blown cruise ship with four movie theaters, a couple of restaurants, and classes (like cooking and craft classes). There were even cabins people could rent. I was impressed. However, everything costs money, so I suppose, it was more like a moving shopping mall and hotel.
Today is the first official day in London but we arrived yesterday afternoon. We were going to go straight to the hotel and maybe walk around the area near the hotel, but while we were waiting in line to buy a one way Tube ticket, a lady approached us asking,”do you need zones 1 and 2?” and we confirmed. She gave us two day passes that she said she didn’t need. So, happy as a pair of clowns, we thanked her and went around the intercity for the rest of the day.
I am on my own today, for Chris is at his conference for most of the day. I went to Hyde Park and saw the chicks with their mothers (the Swans take great pride in their young and love to show them off). Besides the swans there is also the Egyptian Geese with their young (they looked really lazy and didn’t mind that I was practically hovering over them). The Egyptian geese chicks ran right up to me when I put my hand out which was adorable. I talked to a woman at the park and she said there were Coot chicks (little black fluff balls about the size of a Ping Pong ball) but I didn’t see them. It was quite lovely.
