London

After 108 days, we departed our home onboard Crystal Serenity and have taken up residence in London at The Stafford Hotel for a short four days. We managed to hit London just as spring has arrived in all its wonderful glory!  

On Wednesday night, we took in a musical, Billy Elliot, with some friends from the ship and thoroughly enjoyed it.  The next evening we met up with another couple from the ship and had drinks at Claridge's and a wonderful lebanese dinner at Al Hamra in Shepherd's Market. Friday, we spent shopping - Fortnum and Mason's for lunch, Turnbull and Asser for shirts and ties and then Harrods! 

George and I walked all over London on Saturday. People filled the streets and the parks enjoying the weather.

 Buckingham Palace

The Horse Guards

St. James Park

Big Ben

We caught the clock at Fortnum & Mason striking 6 PM, and the action began!


Here is George at the back courtyard at The Stafford Hotel.  Our room is at the very back corner on the second floor of the mews -- The Stubbs Room. 

We've enjoyed our trip immensely and hate for the  journey to end.  But we are looking forward to seeing friends and family again so soon!
