London 2

This is out of order but just want to remind myself of our last day in London.

We went over to the Canary Wharf area to see the London Docklands Museum which is in an old building on what was once West India Quay. Anyone who watched Call the Midwife, we passed by Poplar on the way. The museum was good, not as crowded as others. It seems we always come here on spring break so we have been running into lots of chattering school groups, but none today.

At Canary Wharf you don't feel as if you're in London at all. It is all high rise office buildings, talk about gentrification. There are a few restaurants to and shops in old warehouses.  I remember in the late 80s all the talk about developing the docklands because it was a Canadian family, the Reichmanns, who were doing it. The tallest building there is One Canada Place.

The weather was beautiful so we had a late lunch outside, then back to pack which didn't end up happening until Saturday morning. Why do we never want to pack?

We took the Eurostar from London to Paris. I love train travel. Wish it was not so expensive.
