| On Wednesday, we drove back down M6 to London
and arrived at the Hampstead Heath Youth Hostel in Golder's Green in northeast London. We
stayed there only two nights because we didn't book far enough ahead to stay the weekend
and they had big groups coming in from the continent for the weekend. Thursday morning we went into London early to queue up at a discount broker for tickets to the Reduced Shakespeare Company. It was then that we remembered that virtually no tourist attractions open before 10:00 am. We stood in line for more than ½ hour even though there were only four people ahead of us. By the time the window opened, the line was out into the street and we had to keep moving to let traffic through. We couldn't get tickets for that evening, so we got tickets for Saturday night. Then, while waiting for the 10:00 opening time, we wandered across the square to St. Martin in the Fields church, famous for its academy of music directed by Neville Mariner. |
