London Day 5 and Journey Home

We said good-bye to our temporary home in lovely Bloomsbury today. The Bedford turned out to be just what we needed for our 5 days in London. We were close to bus routes and tour buses, groceries and wine, restaurants and shopping. It really was terrific - not bad considering there was a bit of dumb luck involved in the choice!

Daily English breakfast was included with our room,

and you could choose to sit outside on this pretty patio.

We had no time for sight-seeing on the last day, unless you include views from the van on the way to Heathrow! The ride ended up being 2 hours so  we did see a few new parts of the city!

We flew out of Terminal 2 which seems new, slick and quite lovely.

We got there with plenty of time for some lunch and a little shopping, although most of the stores were a bit too rich for my tastes and wallet :)

Seriously? A spa?

Mum and I were able to make a seat change - hooray! Our back row pair of seats were quite fine and we were relieved to be sitting together this time. (Unlike the screw up on the flight over). It was a huge airplane once again, with 9 seats across (3x3) and about 60 rows.

Although the flight was quite smooth and easy, Toronto was a welcome sight! Spectacular holiday, but we're glad to be home!
