London

March 13, 2018

It is 8:30am in London and we are sitting at the airport waiting for our flights to Paris and N’Djamena with a long layover in Paris.  Our visit to London was just what we needed.  A quiet rest.   Although it would have been nice to have sunshine, the overcast and rainy weather made us content to spend most of our time in our room at the Cafe Royal in Piccadilly Circus.

We did go for a couple of walk abouts around the neighborhood and to Buckingham Palace and, last night, we went to see The Book of Mormon at the Prince of Wales Theatre.  The play lived up to our remembrances of the first time we saw it a few years ago.  The cast was at least as good and funny as the first.

Dining was a non event for us as all the meals we had were mediocre.  We did no shopping, except to buy batteries in a drug store.  So there, you have our London experience in a nut shell.

Tonight we will be in N’Djamena.  I am both excited and nervous.  Wish us well.

Julia and Mark

    So you’re going from foggy rainy London, to 106 degrees in N’Djamena! How do you even begin to pack for such diverse weather? Hope you have uneventful travels until you safely arrive at your next destination. I’ll look forward to your next post.
