Went to London yesterday by coach and it was a nightmare. The coach dropped us at the V and A we where we found an exhibition of the Grace Kelly years - sadly it was booked up with just one ticket available for the next tour. Not problem we decided to do the Raphael exhibition instead which was free but when we actually reached the entrance we were told we still needed tickets which were available in the entrace hall.- no hope of my husband doing the return journey so we did our own short tour which was very interesting. Eventually we decided to join the fight for refreshments - very expensive and not that good.
Took the touring bus in the afternoon but the rain forced us all undercover and we eventually alighted in a packed Trafalgar square. My sandal broke and I was unable to walk easily so we tried to find a taxi,impossible! so waited half an hour for a bus which took more than an hour to get back across to the V and A and made us late for the coach home. How stressful the journey across London became as we wondered whether they would wait for us or whether we would have to take out a mortgage and find a train to return to Bristol. Hey, Ho, they waited bless them but we had to run the gauntlet of the full coach apologising profusely as we found our seats. Another visit.....not for quite a time.
