World Cities Tour 2014 Summer Edition - Day 24

Day 24 - Back in the UK

We packed up this morning and said goodbye to the cows and our bucolic time in the county Clare countryside. We drove back to Dublin under gray skies and the threat of rain. It held off until we got the car back to the rental location and then decided to pour. Our trip through Heathrow was much better this time and we made our way back into London and the Royal Gardens Hotel by 6PM. A very nice hotel with a great location thanks to our Disney (DVC) points. Our room has a postcard picture view over Hyde park and Kensington palace. The staff was very welcoming, and even had a goodie bag for Michelle with puzzles and a brownie. When we turned on our TV, it greeted us by name. There is a speaker in the bathroom which plays the sound from the TV (Michelle told us she could here what we were watching while she was in the shower.. oops). After dinner Michelle and Tony took off for a nearby(ish) pool and Anne took off for the deep soaking tub in the room. Tomorrow we plan to check off a few more things we wanted to do in London.

No! It's a TRAP
Hamster trying to warn the Cow before he gets in the wheel. They will just make the cow run in the wheel over and over and over and over.

Ready to Check Luggage
Waiting for the van to the airport from the rental car place. I don't think we'll ever rent from Europcar again.

Wide Load
We figured out why the overgrowth on these roads is roughly boat height. There was no going around, so we settled in for a 3 hour tour.

Hotel View

Girrafe
Michelle's drink came with a plastic giraffe. We may have a new pet.
