Welcome to England

Saturday, December 29th was a travel day.  We were up early to take a bus to Innsbruck.  At Innsbruck we caught an Easy Jet to London’s Gatwick Airport.  All the drone problems were solved so we had an easy approach and landing.


The view from the Innsbruck airport.

Once we landed our choices were a train to a bus to a train exchange with all our bags or a taxi.  From this situation 2 problems arose.  1- we needed 3 taxis to transport bags and people. 2- as we waited for taxis Katie and Abby decide to enjoy delicious chocolate shakes from the airport M&S

This taxi was lit.

Once we got to the flat we lugged the bags 5 flights of stairs.  The stairwell was a little sketchy but once we got into the flat it was great.  I probably didn’t realize how great a place this was until later.

The old #12.  I hope I can find you again.


Heading down to the tube.  Mind the Gap


Walking to dinner and a show


The streets of London are decorated for the season 


For our first night out we had planned dinner at Jamie Oliver’s restaurant in the theatre district. Jamie Oliver’s Italian was a great spot close to our theatre for the night.


Dinner at Jamie Oliver’s so far so good.


This was the last Brewgooder in the entire restaurant.

At dinner, KT felt a little off so I ran out and got her some antacids and ibuprofen.  She seemed to perk up a little bit after that.

From the restaurant we traveled to the Cambridge Theatre to watch Matilda.  It was amazing.  Sometimes the kings English is a little tough to understand but the show was spectacular.  Everyone had a great time except for KT.  Right before the show was to start she sprang from her seat.  The rest of the story you can get from her.  She came back and watched the show till intermission then spent the rest of the show on a bench downstairs in the theater with her super mom.


Happy to see Matilda in London

From the theater we returned home and all went to bed until Abby woke TB and Lara up with her own version of the M&S chocolate milkshake revenge. We will have to see how everyone does tomorrow on our tour.
