Or why they would want to. I’ve had times where I thought I was adjusted, then boom, exhausted again. The over indulging and massive amounts of walking are a lot of it. I would be freaking I miss ship if one plane was late. Friend missed a flight on way to Europe before you left Greece. She had to stand in line to get new tickets. my return flight from BCN is to early for me so staying a day. Friend chancing it, we do not overnight and the docking And leaving to much for me, cruise again from Athens ..arrive at night.snack,drink and bed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MeganGC1983 Posted June 13, 2023 Author #1061 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Cute little walk and we were on to Westminster Abbey. This is where we may have been kicked out because it was only open for morning prayer service. Oops! 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MeganGC1983 Posted June 13, 2023 Author #1062 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Ran into to Winston Churchill on the way to Big Ben. The London Eye was there too. If I don’t have time for prayer service, I definitely don’t have time to ride the Eye. Something tells me food will be necessary soon. 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MeganGC1983 Posted June 13, 2023 Author #1074 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Mr. Megan made the call of just Uber-ing back to Heathrow. He’s ready to not walk anymore and get home. 😆 the FREENOW app has been great, but we have noticed in London it’s best to comparison shop between it and Uber. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MeganGC1983 Posted June 13, 2023 Author #1075 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Overall, I feel good about our “14 hours” in London. With the storm delay, and the missed tube, waiting on a car, the 14 was really 12. Then add a few hours of sleep and now getting back to the airport, we covered a lot of ground. Saw the main highlights. I’m sure we will be back eventually. It needs proper time. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
