London - What a bloody rip off April 17, 2006
Posted by onthetrain in : a good old rant , add a commentIt’s unusual for me, but with the 5 day forecast for Dorset being pretty crappy I decided to do the fatherly/husbandly thing and bin diving over Easter Weekend and to take the family for a weekend in London instead!
What in Gods name was I thinking?
Firstly the populations of Australia and South Africa seem to have gone back from whence they came to be replaced by the combined populations of Italy, Russia and the Ukraine. The place was heaving. My seven year old had travelled with a very definite itinery in mind. Early train to town on saturday morning, followed by visits to the London Aquarium, Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. As we walked along the embankment towards the aquarium I got a feeling for just how busy it was going to be! The queue for the London Eye was enormous. I think it stretched to Manchester, in fact those at the back of the queue are still waiting their turn! (more…)
