London

Well this is the most unusual environment I've ever blogged in. I am currently on a train en route to the big smoke also known as London to do London based activities and I am super excited.   

Our itinerary for the next few days is as follows:

• Arrive in London at 11:36 
• Bomb over to Leicester Square to go to the tkts booth 
• Lunch 
• 1430 go to see Miss Saigon 
• 1730 zoom over to Kensington to check in at the Hilton
• Dump stuff in room and then head back out to see a different show tbc 
• Have a cheeky pint 
• Go back to the hotel for sleeps 
• Bit of a lie in 
• Go for brunch 
• 1130 get scared at London Dungeons 
• Spend afternoon doing calming down activity 
• 1930 Billy Elliot 
• Cheeky pint 
• Back to hotel for sleeps 
• Lie in 
• Check out of hotel 
• Touristy stuff 
• 1409 train back to Exeter

I know right. I can almoat hear your twangs of jealousy.

I do loves me an itinerary - especially when it's as exciting as this one. The original plan was to see Once tonight but I am an idiot and didn't actually go all the way to the end of the booking proces which wouuld explain why the tickets never arrived in the post. John wasn't that fussed for seeing it anyway. Apparently "they play their own instruments on stage" wasn't enough of a compelling review to get him excited about it. Our options are now wide open.  

There's quite a few shows we haven't seen yet and there are lots on at the moment that we're interested in seeing. Once is most definitely still an option but we're also looking at Dirty Rotten Scoundrels as it has an absolutely stellar cast. There are loads of options on the non musical front too. We'll just have to  see what's available.   

There are some more bits I quite fancy doing in London too. I really want to ride the cable car over the Thames but I don't know whether it'll be something I want to do after beinng scared witless at the Dungeons. It doesn't seem like a calming activity for someone who is a wee bit height shy.  

Oh I also neglected to mention that when we get back we just have to drop our things at home and then we're back out to see a amateur production of Guys and Dolls. So essentially by Sunday there is a small possibility we will be all theatred out.  Probably not though.  

Anyway, I  promised the husband that I wouldn't be typing for the entire journey and would at least try to be sociable. It is an anniversary break after all.   

Until next time.
