Day Nine - London - April 2023

Today we finally went underground and took the Tube to Holborn Station for a ticket pick-up and Covent Garden visit. We had lunch at Wagamama where I managed to spill curry on my shirt and had to keep it covered for the remainder of the day. We stopped for a quick  self-guided tour of the crowded National Gallery. Vermeer was AWOL! A #9 bus took us across town to Kensington High Street where we grabbed our favorite stuff for supper at M&S. One stop on the District Line and we were home to get sorted out before our hilarious evening performance of The Play That Goes Wrong. A black taxi brought us home via Mayfair, and the day was done. Thanks, again, to Debby for sharing some of her photos.

A real giggle

There will certainly be more.

We giggled our way through that play except Beck who we thought might die laughing a few times!
