​Now, I have to admit I have mixed feelings about London, England.  Some of my experiences of that capital city have been so stressful.  My first time there I was a nervous 23 year old travelling over on my own going for a job interview.  Ryanair was a tiny fledgling loss-making airline back then flying out of Waterford.  A better job offer from Dublin meant I never did emigrate….but London for me then became associated with training courses and business trips….lots of running through Heathrow on a Friday night to catch the last flight home….or trying to make connecting flights with minutes to spare.  Of course, I subsequently had much happier trips over there; shopping trips with my mam, Peggy…..and girlie weekends away with friends.  But this blog post is about a more recent enjoyable trip I had to London with Charlie in 2015 and what we got to see.

​So, in my Bucket List quest to read at least 80 books, this is my 6th list of 8 books (actually 10 this time as the first is a trilogy!) that I've held onto.  As explained in my blogs previously, my lists are an eclectic mix of book types.  Hopefully you'll see something that you might read on a rainy day.   (See Blog 16, Blog 22, Blog 32, Blog 38 and Blog 48 for the other book-related blogs).

So this week’s blog continues with the fifth and final leg of my 1991 European Interrailing/ backpacking trip.  You can read about the first legs covering 1) Dublin/Paris/Brussels (click here), 2) Brussels/Berlin/Prague (click here), 3) Prague/Munich/Florence (click here) and 4) Rome (click here).
