The highlight of the trip for me was to see a show on the West End - Mary Poppins! We took the morning train in to London to catch a matinee. We got tickets in the nose-bleed section, but still had a good view of the stage. Mary Poppins flew right past us at the end of the show. Amazing!
They had closed off several streets to make them pedestrian ways and open dining for the many restaurants in the area. We had dinner reservations for an Italian place.
After the show and dinner, we had another hour to kill before the train out of Waterloo station, so we walked over to the South bank of the Thames. The lights were very pretty. This is Parliament and Big Ben. I was hoping that the renovation work to Big Ben would have been completed, but alas, it was still covered in scaffolding.
We arrived about an hour early and decided to do some people watching in the park. Inevitably I pulled out my geocaching app to see if there were any caches near by. There was one. A nano hidden on the fence railing around the park. There were probably 75 people in the small park, so muggles galore. Delaney and I strolled along the fence and were talking quietly about it. A groundskeeper said "are you looking for the puzzle thing?" We said yes, and he pointed us right to it. It felt like cheating, but he was so eager to help, we didn't stop him.
