Travel day - on to London!

Travel Day. Today we were heading back to England, so we only had a little time to kill before our flight. Instead of going to take a peek at Nimes, we went to visit the market in St-Remy de Provence for some last minute gift shopping. Afterwards, we drove to the airport only to find out that there was no gas station for miles and miles (even though the airport was surrounded by small villages, none of these had gas!), so we returned the car without a full tank. Drat.

Took our flight to Luton Airport, trained to the King's Cross station, tubed to Finsbury Park, and then bussed to the James' (Aunt Jane & Uncle Scott). They were out at a play, but left us a delicious ready-bake pasta (that hit the spot like you wouldnt believe!), garlic bread and beer. Sat down in front of the tv, and what was on? An hour of condensed action from the Senators' first game in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Not a pretty game - Yikes! But Steve was really glad (and amazed) that it was on tv anyway. Nice to feel kinda at home after all our travels.

Go Sens go (0-1)!!

Hours of walking: 3
