London Revisited. 英伦之旅 (III). 15 Dec 2007 (Saturday): Paris - London. Crossing the English Channel. It's one of the rare mornings that we started the day late. the Eurostar that headed for London only left Paris at 11 . The journey lasted for about 2.5 hours. Well, it's already the 2nd time. but noticed the difference at the immigration point. Back in the early 2000s, we only 'cleared' our immigration at London Waterloo, however, this time, it's at Paris to process our entry to UK! For the first time in ...

London Revisited. 英伦之旅 (III). 16 Dec 2007 (Sunday): London. This morning, we joined the land tour (by Evans Evans). Pretty excited, as 2 out of 3 places were new to me - the Stonehenge and Bath. The original plan was to go Stratford upon Avon. Nevertheless, there was no place for that land tour anymore. OK, give it a miss this time. We waited for the coach to pick us up from the hotel. Thought we saw the coach, but it disappeared in seconds! How could they leave us behind? Well, no wonder someone. Well, ...

London Revisited. 英伦之旅 (III). 19 Dec 2007 (Wednesday): London - Heading home. It's the last day. finally, after being away from home for almost 2 weeks! We decided to leave the hotel late - had a good breakfast, then check out. partly also because 'off-peak' for tube travel only starts at 9.30 am. Yes, the difference of the day pass between peak and off-peak can go as much as 1 pound! We came the other day (with the land tour), but today's. It's the Whisper Wall at work!
