London Adventure


Over the weekend 12th - 14th Dec.
While everyone was tucked up in front of the telly with the mince pies.
22 members of the Region were hot footing it down to London for the weekend.
The adventure started with the bus being late to leave.
While we tried to settle down for the night (which was hard to do). The Bus made its way down the country.(Stopping at Edinburgh,Newcastle and Sheffield)

Finally we arrived in London at 7.30am on the Saturday and after a good breakfast it was out and about exploring the sights of London.
The weather was not good (It never stopped raining).
After a few hours the Explorers were pretty wet and wanted to dry out a bit, So where can you go (Yes to Harrods).
The idea was for us all to have a wander round(But the Guards had other ideas(Throwing us out at every opportunity)).
We even had the mishap of one of our Explorers being Sick on one of the floors(In which the Staff were really Good in looking after him).

After all this we headed of to do a tour of the London Dungeons.


The time was tight so it was a quick hop skip and jump back across London to the Eye.
In which 5 of the Explorers got Invested at the top of.

Once this was finished it was wind down time, So we headed off to China town for some dinner which went down a treat.

With the evening still young and the tummy's full it was of to every child's favorite toy shop (Hamleys).
We then went shopping for the rest of the evening before heading back to the bus depot for the bus back home.
By all expressions everyone was looking forward to a well earned rest.
