London

 One of London's iconic stores, Liberty of London, a fabric store.
 It has branched into other things like men's and women's clothing and home furnishings.


 Every girl dreams of getting their hands on some Liberty fabrics.
 Carnaby street? The Beatles sang of Carnaby street.

 And of course, the proverbial fish and chips store of England.
From Bordeaux airport we flew to London Gatwick. The crowds at the Gatwick train station was like a mad house, so chaotic. It was wet and cold and some lines were down. We had to rush from one station to another, following other travelers. Finally we got into Victoria station at almost midnight, went to a flea pit hotel nearby. We only had one day in London to see family and have dinner with them. The visit with family was very nice. We had asked for a wake up call for the airport on the day of our departure but the guy forgot. Good thing our internal clock woke us up and we made our flight.I'm going to bring a travel alarm clock when I travel from now on.
