Well here it is, Angies BD - Happy Birthday:) We are sadly leaving on a Jet Plane - don't know . . . . . well you can fill in the rest. Decided to do a 'last minute shopping run' and end up spending our last couple of hours at the beach/pool before heading for the jet plane around noon. The weather is glorious and we are looking forward to our time on Emirates Airline again, what a great journey this has been. We arrived in London on time although our taxi driver had to go around the block a couple of times to find our hotel which was right across from St. Pancreas station. Mary ended up calling the hotel and got specific instructions four our cab driver who was old school and didn't appear to have GPS?? The hotel was a little disappointing, but then what wouldn't be after our Dubai experience? We headed out to get something to eat as we didn't fancy eating at the hotel since they told us they were just closing the kitchen, so we ended up in an Italian Restaurant about 4 blocks from the hotel and were greeted with 'yes, we're still open, but you'd beter be quick'.... well, after the unbelieveable customer service in Dubai this wasn't a great welcome back to the UK, even Mary was amused at our experience! However, the hotel had clean beds and the rooms were ok for an overnight. Off to gay Paris tomorrow on the Eurostar, so on with our journey. Looking forward to perhaps a show or two in Paris and hopefully an improvement in the standard of the hotel. More to follow...
