Just touched down in London town

While I may have had some issues getting back to London on Friday, I finally made it.  Lessons learned:


(1) Do not book a flight from Nice before 7pm from St. Tropez, you will miss your flight
(2) St. Tropez taxis are the nicest you'll ever see: new Mercedes, drivers that looks like they could be on the cover of GQ -- totally worth the money
(3) At the Nice airport, beyond the Passport Control there is only one place to get food in the EasyJet terminal, and if you don't like pre-made Salmon sandwiches, you will be hungry
(4) Despite being in the third row, EasyJet ran out of sandwiches before they got to me
(5) Two things of Pringles does not a dinner make
(6) My U.S. credit card did not work in the Gatwick train station kiosks, thus making me wait in long lines and missing 2 trains
(7) Late night, the London busses do NOT run frequently - however, I did manage to get myself on the right one.  London Buses - 0, Amy - 1


After the past week or so, coming back to London was necessary for some R&R, although that had to wait until yesterday/today as of course I needed to spend time with one of my best friends!  I love you, Em!





Still finalizing the next leg of my trip and will keep everyone posted!
