As I said on Friday we went to London yesterday. I was hoping and hoping that the weather was going to be nice... well that didn't happen... it absolutely chucked it down all day :(
It was actually such a long day, we left on the coach at 7am and we got into London at just after 11. Coming back was just as bad as we left London about 8.15pm and got back home at 12.30am.. Me and Matt had a lovely session with lots of musicals on his ipod :P
I wish I had some pictures to share with you... If you have been following my blog a while then you will know this is not the norm... Me and Matt make regular trips to London to see shows and I don't think I have ever come back to say I have no pictures to share but the weather was SO bad I didn't want to get my camera out...
We did have a good day despite the weather. My mum and dad have not been to London in a few years and they have never seen a show so we took sanctuary in Her Majesty's Theatre to see Phantom of the opera. Me and Matt saw Phantom back in June but we sat right at the back of the stalls and as fab as the seats were there were a lot of bits - the chandelier falling and the phantom on the top of the stage. Mum and dad wanted some cheap tickets and didnt want to pay out lots so me and Matt took our ticket hunting expert skills and managed to get tickets in the Upper Circle for £21.50. We were really far on the left (these tend to be the cheapest tickets) and we couldnt see the very left of the stage but we did get to see all the bits we had missed before.
After Phantom we then took advantage of the lack of traffic on Oxford and Regent Street and did a bit of shopping (well I did). I got a few bits from Lush, Selfridges and John Lewis. I will share when I have taken some photos :)
Overall it was a good day but me and Matt have both said we wouldn't go on the coach again... its just too long - I think we have been spoilt with quick first class train travel. Me and Matt are going again at the end of January for the weekend so I just hope the weather is a bit better and that I can share some pictures with you.
