Up at around 8am this morning, a good long sleep for us! Breakfast was a bit weird as we didn’t recognise anyone, having become quite used to knowing 20-30 people every morning!
After breakfast we checked out and walked to Earls Court underground station (ironically we had been moved to the only part of London we know quite well!) and got the tube towards Kings Cross. Forgetting it was a Sunday we got off at Covent Garden to do some shopping. Everything was closed, and it confirmed to me that Londoners do not get up early on weekends! We carried on to Kings Cross train station and got the 12.30 train to Stirling. The whole journey passed without event, with us eating all our remaining stroopwafels and me watching the minute by minute commentary on NZs excellent draw with Italy.
Both J and I commented on missing our tour buddies, and that it felt weird that we were on our own today. We very quickly got used to being part of the group, with the security that brought. It felt a bit uneasy to be wandering alone through London with our suitcases.
Changed trains for Alloa in Stirling and we were back home by 6.30pm. It all seemed like a bit of a dream and it felt like we had been away for months. We were greeted by our cat, who seemed rather surprised to see us.
