London, Day 1
This morning we drove towards to our hotel in London. We arrived two hours before check-in and looked for a place to eat. With all the customers it looked like one of those hole-in-the-wall places with surprisingly good food. But it was only o.k. and didn’t seem worth the money. After we ate we sat in the car until two o’clock came around for check-in. We unloaded the entire car and drove it to Avis. We felt like we made out pretty well with the cost. We thought we could be spending around $1600, but they ended taking off money because we returned the car three days early and they took off for the price of the tire. So we only spent around $1000 for 14 days of rental and damage. We walked from the car rental to Hyde Park for the Hard Rock concert. Tim managed to get those tickets online for The Police concert. There were various other musicians that we were unfamiliar with, but they did have the Bangles and KT Tunstal. The concert lasted from two to ten so Tim and brought along our picnic blanket and packed lots of snacks for supper. There were 35,000 people at the concert. This concert was the last time The Police were ever going to perform together. When I first heard about there last tour together, I remember getting online to see if they were going to be in Dallas or some place close to home, but the timing wasn’t going to work out. So this is even cooler that we got to see their final performance and at all place in London. We had a great time.
