Waking up to our last few hours in Bristol we packed our bags and headed off to breakfast with our newly made friend Heather. First dropping off our bikes, we went and had a delicious English breakfast before grabbing a train to London.
Once in London we stopped quickly by Covent Garden then decided to walk our way down to Green Park, a place I spent many lunch-times and afternoons two years ago when I worked in the area. With our heavy backpacks we lounged around a bit before I realized we were near Buckingham Palace, a place we didn't visit and so Jackie had never seen (and if you're in London you must see Buckingham Palace right?)
After some pictures there we made our way with a decent walk to Victoria station where we could catch a line out to Ed's new apartment.
He chauffeured us from the station and brought us to his awesome new flat (he moved since the last time we were in London) where we proceeded to watch the movie The A-Team (only watch this if you'd like to watch what seems like a movie composed entirely of fast-paced action-filled movie trailers that you'd see on tv) and ordered some delicious Indian food.
The next day, I arranged to meet with Delphine, a UCSD alumna of Muir College since 1983. The day after she graduated, Delphine used her French residency (from her mothers heritage) to move to Paris where she worked in fashion and makeup for a number of years. After a while she decided to get a MBA from the London Business School and from that she moved into her current field of Management Development.
We both had to get running and I hopped on the tube, met Jackie at the Covent Garden platform and made our way to the Eurostar part of St. Pancreas station to hop on the train to Brussels. (Yup, a train to cross the English channel, going through the tunnel underneath the water, sometimes referred to as the "Chunnel" (channel+tunnel, get it?)
