layover in England

Lovely day in England, after landing at Heathrow and showering in the American Airlines Arrival Lounge after a long flight from Chicago(I'm sure it was the BEST shower I've ever had). Our friends Andy & Jane picked us up for an excursion to Savill Garden, where we walked and chatted through the beautiful gardens, then on to Eton, where we had a delicious lunch at the House on the Bridge with a view of Windsor Castle. Saw the Eton students in tails as we window shopped along the cobblestone streets, and narrowly missed getting rained on by stepping in for a bite at just the right time. In spite of a number of coffees together I still managed to nod off on the car ride back to Heathrow. After invigorating chair massages, Greg and I have now found new energy; we are both on computers typing away at the BA lounge. Our next flight for the day is 12 hours long taking us into Cape Town. So grateful to Andy & Jane for a lovely afternoon, providing a welcome break in our 24 hours of travel time and making it so much more enjoyable. We hope our next visit together will be longer!
