London: Day 3
Falling a bit behind with this since its now day 5 but doing my best.
Day 3 was quite relaxing compared to the non-stop of the previous 2 days. Lazy start and a stack breakfast at Ed’s before shlepping to the London eye to be a proper tourist. Queue was pretty decent Nd only took about 10-15 minutes to get on.
Lots of repetitive photos from the eye and then went to the London Eye 4D experience as it was included. Just as well because if they’d have tricked me into paying for an advert I’d have been displeased.
We had already learnt the day before that misconceptions of the 4th dimension being time or anything like that were completely wrong. The 4th dimension, to any not in the know, is water.
Went and had a big mooch down the river, watching all the buskers doing magic or juggling or for the majority just wearing a costume and hoping that was enough.
Went and got some coffee and cake and sat in a park by embankment. Then went back to hotel stopping into Ed’s for a peanut butter malt and some fries with various tummy dips, including “wet” as we’d enquired about it. Wet means gravy (day 3 was all about the education).
We got ready for an evening at a comedy club in Chiswick. MC was Martin Davis, then there was Simon Evans, Dave Johns (who I’ve seen a few times) and “very special guest). Every poster or web site said he could not be named but on the website selling the tickets they had no issue telling us it was Andy Parsons off of Mock the Week.
There were signalling issues on the line we needed to use which meant after much rushing om arrival we got there at 8.10pm, thankfully I’d wrongly convinced myself of an 8pm start when it was really 9pm so bonus. Relaxed in a proper pub drinking actual pints that didn’t cost more than at home. Win.
Comedy was funny, true to its name. With some very quirky audience members making the MCs job maybe too easy. A young woman from Arizona was over here studying torture for a PHD.
After the comedy to top off yet another great day the MC got on our carriage AND sat opposite us and then proceeded to entertain us for the 20 minutes or so back to our stop. Awesome!
