Shooby finally began her solo European adventure! She felt excited, and relaxed, at the same time. She had no schedule to keep, and could do anything (or nothing), at any time she desired!
The research she did with Bao-er and Bao-yi before the trip, helped a lot. She felt she already knew London, before she even stepped off the plane. Bao-yi had helped her print some information on London Accommodation they had found on the net together. Armed with the information, Shooby checked into a hotel, which she would later find, delivered everything the information had claimed, and much more!
Shooby rubbed her hands in glee, as she thought about the bookshops she had seen, riding in the cab on the way from the airport to the hotel. She was not crazy about the Royal family, but she was looking forward to catching a glimpse of the Buckingham Palace nevertheless. Shooby sat at the window, and took in the London sights and sounds, from the hotel. She did not like shopping much (apart from book shopping), but she would have to visit Harrods, and get one or two souvenirs she had promised Bao-er and Bao-yi. Shooby was happy to discover that she could get to many places she wanted to visit easily from her hotel. She decided she would take some leisurely walks, ride the red buses some, and try the coaches too!
However, it was getting late. Shooby would have to wait till the next day to start her exploration - after enjoying a hearty, Continental breakfast, provided by the hotel! Hmm...scones!
