I woke up at about 10am and got a shower. I ate an early lunch that was a traditional Danish meal consisting of beef and potatoes mixed in a spicy sauce and covered in two fried eggs. It was very good. The boat landed on the shore of England at around 11:30am. We took and hour and a half train ride to London.
We had time in the train station to look around while Dr. Bob got us group day passes. Nothing was really there besides exchange places and fast food, but I did notice that no public trashcans were in the station at all. I suppose because of the bombings a few years ago. It was strange carrying trash out with me.
Our hotel was located right next to Paddington Station, so we were in a good part of town. Rob and I got our laundry done and took a nap before we met the group to go to Covent Garden for dinner. We ate at a place called Porter’s that was a great first meal to have in England. I got fish and chips that were phenomenal. We went to a bar up on a balcony in the Garden where most of our group was hanging out. It was Stifel’s birthday at midnight, so we had a lot of fun with him. Brent met up with us at the bar and took us to a sport’s bar he knew of that was fun. Rob and I took a cab back to the hotel. It took a while to find one that would stop for us. We had one approach us that was clearly not a cab, and one man approached us and showed us his beat up sedan that we quickly passed on. The one that took us back was an old black one that was clearly marked.
