BLACKBURN AND SWEETZER

OK, this is it people, you’re probably sick of London photos, but I figure you can always skip them if you’re done. These are two bathroom extremes: on the left, the ‘XLERATOR’ which sounds like you’re on a landing strip but really does the job, leaving hands dry and warm in lightning speed; on the right, the low-flow toilet - the big circle you push for, ahem, more serious matters, the small for the everything else - which might be better for the environment, but just doesn’t work particularly well.

Apparently, lasagna and salad is a regular British meal?

St. John Bar & Restaurant serves up pricey and very British fare. They clearly forgot about our order or lost it - we were waiting about an hour and a half to get our main course, which definitely kind of soured our experience, but it was good.

St. John interior; a delicious salad

Some good wine we had prior to St. John, but was particularly good so thought I’d share; we ate at The Court pub for a quintessential English breakfast the day we left

The Court

Mine was really good - egg, buttery mushroom, sausage, bacon, wheat toast and beans; my cohort had eggs and toast

Paddington Station, we took the Heathrow Express to the airport, which was great
