bright lights, big city

St Fraimbault - le shuttle - London - Eurotunnel - St Fraimbault in 24 hours. It IS possible, and we proved it by doing a quickasaflash visit from France to the UK Sunday/Monday. London at its best. Stayed in Greenwich flat, took trains, DLRs, tube, buses and taxis everywhere, ate posh, ate not so posh, drank vodka and beer, trawled the Kings Road and Piccadilly, shopped in Covent Garden and Greenwich markets, chatted with taxi drivers and street folk, gave money to the homeless, danced underneath The Journey *installation* on Trafalgar Sq (now pigeon free), enjoyed the sunshine, and just had a great time. Left when still on a city high, had great and easy journey home. Lones has now got the bug....and who can blame him?
