Waiting for our ride to London


We took a taxi to Milton Keynes Central to catch the train but anticipated a delay given the current spate of delays being experienced on the Milton Keynes route. When our train finally came through at 11.23am, it was a full one. It wasn't a pleasant experience for me having to stand all the way to Euston train station in London with my heavy luggage. I guess the train shuttle is not designed for heavy laden travellers such as myself! Because we had a lot of luggage we opted to take a taxi to our hotel in Victoria; The Weindermere Hotel. This is not advisable to do given the hefty taxi fare price but given our circumstances we opted to do this.

Weindermere Hotel is a neat little hotel within walking distance of the Victoria train station in London. Buckingham Palace was also within walking distance!!



As soon as we arrived, we dumped our bags in our room and ventured off to catch one of the tours on open double decker buses. This was the best option for us given the time-frame that we had left in London.
