Karon, Holland and Bob went up to London on the Train, for a ‘flight’ on the London Eye and a wander afterwards.
Plain tree
One of thousands of Plain Trees that grace the streets of London... A hybrid of P. orientalis and P. occidentalis, this tree seems to be more disease resistant than either parent. P. occidentalis is native to the eastern half of the United States and Canada. One of the tallest deciduous trees grown in this country, it can attain 100 feet with a spread of 60-80 feet.
The train up to London isn’t cheap – if more than one of you are traveling, it’s cheaper to drive and park as long as you stay out of the Congestion Zone. Still, it makes a change and means I can have a beer if I want. Once there we headed for the London Eye, not far from Waterloo Station. We had to queue but it went down pretty quickly. The views over London were fantastic. Afterwards we walked along the embankment across Westminster Bridge and headed for Leicester Square for some food and ice-cream in Hagen Das.
