We Arrive in London!

9 AM Monday morning, we drove from Turku to Helsinki to catch our 2 PM flight to London. Everything went smoothly and I think everyone was grateful not to have to be crammed into Opel station wagon we'd been using. We left Outi at the airport--she was going to take the bus back to Heinola. It was sad to part after 12 days together!The flight went smoothly (except for some turbulence and a cross wind as we were landing), we took the Heathrow Express to London (did you know Return = Round Trip in British) and a short cab to our hotel. After a rest we headed out to a nearby pub, The Victoria, to meet some friends now living in London.

Our hotel is just across from Hyde Park, so we walked through a bit of it before turning in. Below, flowers in front of little cottage near the Serpentine.
