A DAY TRIP TO LONDON
Just returned from a flying visit to London. Flying visit may not be right English as I travelled overnight by Bus. Bagged a couple of cheap tickets over the internet. £2 return Glasgow to London is a bargain.
Many years ago I had spent a month on Greyhound buses touring USA . So when there was a chance to sample Greyhound in the UK I jumped at the chance. The only downside is overnight bus travel.
7.00 London Eye from North bank of the river Thames.
Started my walk along the Thames on the Northside. The Embankment
