A day in the city

Mark and his girlfriend had a day out to London. A couple of cheap coach tickets from Derby to Victoria Coach Station meant I was dropping them down in Derby for a 7am start which should have got them into London for 10:45, but, traffic hold-ups meant they were a half hour late. After a good day sight seeing they caught their return coach at 17:30 only for the bus to overheat and breakdown. The coach was replaced after they limped into Leicester and they got back and hour late.

Journies aside -- it appears that they had a good day out, seeing the back end of the Changing of the Guard before taking a ride on the London Eye, plus a bit of window shopping in Oxford Street and a walk in the park. All as a belated birthday treat for Eleanor. Nice!
