Well, my last day in London proper involved getting up bright and early so we could make it to the Tower of London and then catch the 2.5hr train down to Wool (which is near Weymouth, past Portsmouth for the uneducated ^_-).
The tower was interested, the crown jewels impressive and we managed to spend over 3hrs there (way exceeding our initial estimate of 2hrs) - by the time we returned to Bond Street to get our luggage and went to Waterloo we had missed the 3pm train (the next train was at 4) - I used this opportunity to go to Monsoon to try on some dresses they were nice but alas, either too small/big or there was something wrong with the cutting of the dress. So result of London shopping (aside from food and souvenirs is zero) NOT FAIR!!!!!
Uneventful trip down to Wool, ben and i half-played a game of scrabble. I kept dropping the letters, spent about 10 minutes trying to flick a letter out of the side of the seat, some old guys was wondering what i was doing. Luckily i managed to flick it out - imagine losing a letter in a game of scrabble. It's tragic!
Anyway Ben typically started to nod off so we stopped the game and had a snooze until we reached Wool. There were only 2 taxis at the station when we arrived and they were quickly taken - had to wait ages for a taxi to arrive but once we got it we arrived at Lulworth Inn fairly quickly. There was confusion about the place we were staying once that was sorted we settled in and headed downstairs for the pre-wedding meal.
