Day 118 Tuesday 14^th September:

Checked out by 10.00 am. Headed to the city with the first stop being a visited to the Victoria and Albert museum – another quality museum. Spent more time here than planned but worthwhile. Had lunch at Leister Square and then headed back to collect our bags, say good bye to Jim and then headed to Heathrow – in rush hour! Negotiated the tube with large cases – and terminal 3 at Heathrow. Headed back to Oz via Dubai!

Day 117 Monday 13^th September:

Woke before 5.00 am and left for Ely by 5.30am. We made good time through London at this hour of the morning, stopping at lay-by north of Cambridge for breakfast. Another stop at a camp ground to do the final cleaning etc of the van.

Arranged to meet Chris before 11.00 am. Everything satisfactory, the deal was settled and Chris dropped us off at the railway station to return to London.

Arrived back in London by 2.00 pm. Checked in to our accommodation, walked down to the London Museum before meeting Jim  for the evening meal and the musical “Grease”. Lovely evening but very tired – been up since before 5 this morning.

Day 116 Sunday 12^th September:

Woke early, breakfast and then started to pack cases for home! Left for Camden market mid morning, arriving to find crowds and crowds of people! Fascinating – people continually “spewing” from the Underground!

Had lunch beside the canal, looked around before heading out to the Strand and Somerset House and the Courtland gallery, then to Hertford House and the

Wallace Collection – wow! .. one of the best collections around Europe.

Returned to packing and the evening at Baltic Street. Delivered our cases to Cromwell Tower and readied the van for the sale tomorrow. Tired!

Day 115 Saturday 11^th September:

Off to Osterley Park (London) – TT took us in the back driveway much to the surprise of the workers! Breakfast and showered here before visiting the House and property.

After lunch we set TT for Fann St in London – took us through Piccadilly Circus , Shaftsbury Ave and Oxford St.! Parked in Baltic Street . James came around and later we went out for the evening to Brick Lane. Afterwards we walked the City and the Embankment until late in the evening. A drink at “10 Bells” – the Ripper pub. Home by 12.30 am.

Day 114 Friday 10^th September:

Overcast morning but still quite pleasant – temperature expected to get to 21 today. Left for Guilfiord and Woking. After these we headed for Runnymede for lunch and the afternoon. Walked the ground where the nobles forced king John to sign Magna Carta in 1215.

The hill over looking Runnymede is Cooper’s Hill at Englefield Green – we stayed here for the night – great area to stay for a motorhome! (N51 -26 -221 E0 – 34 -167)
