Thursday 4th June
A big transfer day, leaving Edinburgh for London on the
train. The train journey was fast and very picturesque. We travelled through or
by Berwick-on-Tweed,
saw Lindisfarne – The Holy Island, Newcastle-on-Tyne,
Durham,
York,
and Peterborough and finally London. We arrived at Kings Cross-St.
Pancras, bought our Oyster Cards and got the Underground to our hotel on Drury
Lane, Covent Garden.
We strolled down Shaftesbury Ave towards the Palace Theatre,
collected our tickets for “The Commitments” and had a couple beers, gin and
tonics and delicious falafel burgers at a pub nearby.

When we arrived at the theatre we were told our tickets had
been upgraded to the front row of the Dress Circle. We had another wee dram to
celebrate our good fortune and settled in for a fabulous show.
The Palace Theatre
Super high
energy, a lot of fun and fantastic singing and music. I hope it comes to
Melbourne.
After the show we strolled around Covent Garden – loud,
boisterous, partying, vibrant and exciting. We are loving London!
And it is warm and dry.
