London Day 1

We left Harlaxton around 9am on a rainy Monday morning. Because of traffic and the weather, the normal 2 hour coach trip to the hotel in London took 3 1/2 hours. There were only 13 of us on the coach built to hold over 60.

After checking into the Royal National hotel, we all had free time the rest of the day. All of the students took off for a long walk around London. They eventually found Camden Market. They all had supper at a Chinese restaurant.

The three professors also took a walk around London focusing mainly on SoHo and the West End. We ate lunch at a lovely pizza place and toured a more historic and upscale shopping area of London. I stayed in the West End and saw the play "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time".

On the first free afternoon, the ten students headed up to Camden Road to visit the market area.

All ten students (plus a friend in London) had a great evening hanging out together.

Note: I am waiting on pictures from the students from their free days and I will update the blog again. In addition, the hotel we are at does not have wifi so I ended up posting this while sitting in the Tate Modern Art museum (very nice place to work on a computer). I updated this while sitting in Hearthrow airport.
