My train leaves Norwich at 10.30am, and I arrive at London Liverpool Street at 12.20pm.
As we arrive into London the temperature has dropped and it is raining, Welcome to London!!! It would appear that the next few days will be full of rain, so the Monopoly trip might be off the cards tomorrow. Might have to go shopping instead.
After my arrival at London Liverpool Street, I decided to take a bus to Kings Cross rather than the tube, the tube is a bit much with suitcases in toe. Might not have been night brightest idea when its raining and there is no bus shelter. Anyway the bus turned up and we were on our way. Only took 30 minutes, the roads are just a busy as I remember, I'm not sure why people bother driving in this town.
By 1.30pm I was all checked into my room. Now I have to make my way to my bank, so its time to head for Marble Arch, and as it happens its shopping central too.
Well made it to the Bank and it is no longer there!!! Guess I should have checked before I left. Off looking at the shops then.
After taking a look around some of my favourite shops I headed for Piccadilly Circus, I get to take in the sights, the billboards have been upgraded to be a little more high tech since I last stood here.
Now lets see if I can get a theatre ticket for tonight. Why yes I can, I am off to see Once at 7.30pm
Once is a beautiful story, something a bit different and a must see. When you enter the theatre, you have a option to buy a drink up on stage at the bar.
After a few minutes some of the cast come out and start playing Irish pub songs, while people drink, it is a great way to start a show, (footage is a short due to be told not to record...oops)
This show is one of the best I have see in a long time, and a must see.
So that's it for Day 1, not 100% sure about tomorrow yet, will see how the weather is in the morning, but I will probably look at taking another show in tomorrow night.
