Today was a very relaxed day compared to the past week here in Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and England. We visited four capitals on this trip Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh and London. On our last day, we took the train to Trafalgar Square, a beautiful square filled with a fountain and people enjoying the nice Saturday with family. After the square, we went back to Piccadilly circle for those of us who went to the Castle the day before. We had some lunch, did some more shopping and enjoyed some people watching. We then went back to the tube and caught the line to Waterloo. The Waterloo station takes you near the London eye and the pier. Unfortunately, since it was a Saturday it was a 2-3 hour wait for the London Eye. We didn’t have the time to wait, but we were able to do some more shopping and watch some of the street performers. It was now about an hour before our meeting time for dinner. We started to make our way to dinner and found this very cool little beach and the Pier with a man who built a sand castle and had buckets down below that the students and adults could try to throw coin into. Now this beach was about 10-12 feet below and you had to take stairs to get down, which we did not do. The students did try to throw coin into the bucket. I must say that this was quite genius by the guy to make quite a bit of money for his beach art work. After the beach, we continued to dinner and crossed the Queens Bridge. We made it to dinner with about fifteen minutes to spare. Dinner was beef, carrots, potato, peas and a traditional British bread. After dinner, we decided to head back to the hotel to begin our packing for our trip back to Detroit in the morning. It will be quite hard to say goodbye to our great tour guide Roberto and our traveling family from Upstate New York. Hopefully one day we can run into eachother again. I hope that Roberto can be our tour guide through Spain in June. We did request him. It’s about an eight hour flight back with hopefully no delays since we are getting back kind of late. Wake-up tomorrow is around 7:30 am and on the bus by 8:30 am. It’s been a great trip to Ireland and the UK. More soon as we head to Spain in late June.
