We arrived at Gatwick late last evening and were relieved that we had made the decision to stay at the hotel in the airport. This meant that we didn’t have to store the bike and get ourselves somewhere, we just checked in right there, no hassle. Our room is very interesting, sort of like a capsule. There’s room only for the bed and a small bathroom, the bike case barely fit. In the bathroom there’s no shower stall, the water comes out of the ceiling and drains away through the floor and everything gets wet. It feels a bit like sleeping in the campervan except there’s no window.
We took the train into London (just a note for future trips, the oyster card can now be used to get in from Gatwick) and met with Erika briefly for lunch then spent a couple of hours in the Museum of London which is very close to Guildhall. This is an excellent museum, free to visit. It is all about the history of the city from prehistoric times to the present. We only got through about half, we’ll have to return sometime. Then we met Erika again along with Poul and Annette (George’s Danish cousin and wife) for dinner. We had a great visit then headed back to our capsule.
Tomorrow home!
