Do you know how many miles we drove today, how many signs we passed and how many attempts it took to get this arty shot of a London sign with ELO CD case in shot too?!?!
First stop off this morning was Bicester Village. We had a walk around the shops, Cath Kidston heaven!
Second stop, Waddesdon Manor (National Trust) where we also had a picnic lunch. The house was huge and although we could have walked to the house (we had limited ourselves to a set time) we caught the shuttle bus there and back. The house was actually no-where near the car park and although you could have walked there, we bussed it!
Third stop, car park. £9.50 to park the car for 24 hours, very reasonable for London. We collected our bags and walked to the hotel. Had a shower and got changed and went straight out again on the tube to Canary Wharf where we had tea. We also walked around the (underground) shopping centre and along the Wharf.
For tea Mark had a steak pie and I had a vegetable curry.

Back on the underground to Greenwich and we went to the O2 arena to see ELO in concert. First off, I was a little less than impressed with the O2 or as I have always known it as The Millenium Dome. I thought it would be a lot grander but it just looks like an ugly oversized circus tent. There is no denying though once inside it is HUGE.
Concert was fantastic and we really enjoyed it.
Getting out was not a huge problem as we thought it would be and was well organised. We only had two train stops and then a short walk back to the hotel.
