August 18th - Off To London Again!

Off to London for the second time this year.

I got up around 5am and was tired for the rest of the day, obviously.

They messed up our seat reservations again, and gave us two seats together and one on the opposite side of the train (so we were all in a row (XX   XO).

At least we had a table seat though, but we were in the worst seats on the train, the first row of Coach B - furthest from the luggage racks (thankfully there was seat storage on this train) and our row was absolutely freezing. The opposite side of our table onwards was warm!

My brother had only had two hours sleep, but only decided to try and sleep on the train 10minutes before we got to Kings Cross!

After dropping off our cases at the Royal National Hotel, we headed over to Leicester Square and grabbed Burger King for lunch.

We just love the Coke Freestyle machines they have!

We also wandered in a couple of shops (Cool Britannia, and M&Ms World) before heading back to the hotel to check in.

One we got into our room we let my brother sleep for an hour or so before going back out.

First stop was Covent Garden, where I ran into the Moomin Shop and bought a magnet, pencil and keyring.

I looked in the Disney Store but they didn't have any vinylmation.

We then walked over to Trafalgar Square and had a look around before going to get some food.

After food we headed to Ripley's Believe it Or Not.

We've never visited this before, but got free tickets with our booking.

It was good, but not amazing and there wasn't anything nice in the gift shop!

After that we headed back to the hotel.
