To London, and Beyond

Our journey back to London was smooth, and we certainly recommend the Eurostar.
London was warm when we arrived! We walked around the redeveloped St Pancras area, where the Wimbledon tournament was being broadcast to fans on the banks of the Regent's Canal.
Stace read about this interesting used book store called Word on the Water, located in an old barge, and he knew Cora especially would love it. Sure enough, she found some books to buy.

Who's that lurking in the porthole mirror?
After lunch, we collected our big bag from the luggage storage facility, and jumped on the Tube for our trip to our Heathrow hotel.

We were lucky to get a few seats. The train car filled quickly with each passing stop, and we were crammed in like sardines. I was so pleased to see my girls reading their new book together, rather than playing on a screen, for most of the hour journey.
Our night at our favorite Premier Inn was uneventful, and we got off to the airport smoothly Friday morning. Don't you love the Terminal Five umbrella art display?

Soon enough,we were off, homeward bound. Another successful summer vacation in the books.
