Weekend in London - Day 4

December 31st, 2007 by alice

Final day!

Hmm will probably be a short entry, cos it was a short day. Bob was working today (I booked it off, obviously, mmm my first non-working day since I started (except obviously weekends)), and my train was a daytime one, 11.10, so we got up nice and early, and set off for the tube. Was about half 8 or so, therefore morning rush hour and therefore packed tubes. Hehe was kind of fun. I’m such a tourist :(

The tube is direct to the stop nearest to Bob’s work. I took a map of the underground (see, real tourist here) so I could find my way back by myself, and Bob gave me instructions on the stations and lines. We walked a short way from the station to his place of work. Twas near the Gherkin. Outside we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways: Bob, inside to his office; me, back to the tube station and on to Kings Cross train station. I think it was the Northern Line I had to take…

I took a photo of the gherkin first (and some other random place) :)

I wasn’t sure how to time it properly, and when I got to Kings Cross I found I had an hour to spare. I went for a quick walk around outside to pass the time and bought myself some yummy food from M&S for the journey, before giving up and standing in the station waiting for the train.

Platform 6.

The journey was okay. Pretty quiet train. Got to Leeds about half 1 where it was cold and dark and raining. Mum picked me up in Halifax and brought me home.

I had the most amazing time. See you soon London! :D
