Around the midst of the summer vacation, we normally take a short trip to London. It's always fun to be there, because you never stop finding new places and unexepected treasures. We travel to London a couple of times a year and now we begin to get a feel for the city.
Eurostar made travelling to Great-Britain very easy. Before that you had to take either the plane or the ferry (later on hoovercraft) from Ostend. When you go by plane, you have to be at least one hour before at the airport, and then you arrive in Heathrow, from where it takes about an hour by tube to reach the center of London. By ferry/hoovercraft you arrived in Dover and then it was also a ride by train to London (more than an hour). Right now you just board the train in Brussels-South and two hours later you are in London St. Pancras. Beats everything! Another plus: when you buy the tickets way in advance, you get the lowest fare.
This time the trip won't cost us much, because we could exchange Hilton Honor points to pay for the room. And we got the low fare for the train as well. This means we'll only have to spend money on our food and drinks.
Of course we'll pick a musical when we're there. This time we have tickets for the new production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Coat, with Jason Donovan as the pharaoh.
Let's hope the weather plays nice!
