Day 38 - Saturday 1 June 2019 - Goodbye to London and on to Stansted

With packing nearly settled for everyone, we had breakfast and then checked out, leaving the luggage (all ten pieces.  Don't ask.) in the hotel Luggage Room.

Then we went for a walk to see Westminster Abbey.  We were pretty confident that we would not have time to go in (the queues that we had already seen there were mind boggling), so we were heading off just to have a look.
Linda got her pic with a couple of proper Bobbies.
We were right about the queues at the Abbey...





At this point, Len and Carol returned to the hotel, and Diane and Linda continued up the road.  This is because London is insufficiently populated with public conveniences.  On the way back from a handy Pret-A-Manger, Diane and Linda stopped by this little park and saw several squirrels scampering through the trees.

Then Linda and Diane walked back to the hotel, past Great Smith Street (ROFL), and saw that the crowd at Westminster Abbey was now officially horrendous.


Linda stopped at every souvenir shop and stall on the way.  She didn't buy anything.

We had a light lunch, confirmed our car for the airport, retrieved our luggage, and we thought it was all playing by the numbers from there...

Day 24 - Saturday 18 May 2019 - Canal trip and family visit

Image
After the usual breakfast at the Station Hotel, we went to the Dudley Canal and Tunnel Trust for a three hour open water tour of the canals around Dudley and Tipton.  We got a covered narrow boat (not barge, apparently) because rain was forecast.  This is going under Dudley Road Bridge.  We saw a lot of waterbirds - including this slightly grumpy lookin chap.  We went through six locks, including a step-lock.  Carol did not like it, much.  The rest of us enjoyed more so.  More birds...  Toll End Bridge  Hmmm.  This was more interesting at the time.  Here we are going over the road at Dudley Port - we are on the aquaduct, and next to that is the railbridge.  Very pretty in places; because rubbish cleaning is left to volunteers, some places are better-kept than others.  More bridges  This little bird is nesting in a tyre tied to a derelict narrow boat...  and swimming qu...

Day 12 - Monday 6 May 2019 - Kyle of Loch Alsh to Elgin

Image
With a functional camera, and a whole new day ahead, we left Kyle of Loch Alsh around 10am and headed for Inverness.  We stopped by the castle of Eilean Donan to get the photos we 'lost' yesterday.  We got the better of it because the tide was in, and the reflections added beautifully to the pictures. We drove back to the Invergarry turnoff, and then on to A887 to Inveness. Along the way we noticed that the mountains had extra snow added last night - a whole lot more than yesterday, and a lot further down the slope, too. We stopped briefly at Urquhart Castle Ruins where Linda and Carol took photos. We stopped at the Nessie exhibition and shop for a coffee and a bit of a Nessie fix.  We were fortunate to see Nessie just a short while later. Then to Inverness. After Inverness we tried to go an interesting way to Aberdeen, but ended up seeing the ruins of a 13th century Priory at Kinloss, where the grounds included war graves up to a...

Day 32 - Sunday 26 May 2019 - Bath Dog Show and the Eiffel Tower

Image
**Updated 06-06-2019 to add the video and photos** Carol and Len drove down to Bath today to catch up with friends with German Spitz and to see how the English do a dog show.  This is a big four day show.  The ring tapes were interesting, and have been noted for consideration for the Castlemaine Club! Diane and Linda took the tourist bus back around the circuit, getting off at the Trocadero. Here we had a coffee and pastry (courtesy of the hotel) on the lawns, and then ran the gauntlet of souvenir sellers to get to the Eiffel Tower.  Security around the Tower is much increased since 2007.  The whole precinct surrounding the pillars of the Tower is enclosed in security fencing; all bags are opened and checked by personnel going in, and people go through metal detectors.  This security check took about 40 minutes to get through. Once inside we then had to purchase tickets to go up into the Tower itself.  So into another queue for a...
