We are packing up to go home. . . Our flight is bright and early! Come 5:30 AM we will be manhandling our bags down four flights of stairs and out into the dark London morning. Its so depressing!Anyway, yesterday we traveled from York back to London. It was rough. We have so much stuff now! Once the train hit London we had to drag all our things through the tube station, then on the tube, and then back off again. By the time we got to the hotel we were dripping wet in sweat! We stripped down and laid on the beds for a whole hour before we could move again.
Debbie has been looking for a Pink Floyd hat for Bruce so I looked up a Rock and Roll memorabilia store and we went in search of that. It happened to be on "Bakers Street." You 
know what is coming next don’t you! Hello! Bakers Street! You guessed it, right across from the Rock and Roll store was 221B Bakers Street! This is the literary adventure trip, so we had to take a look. The rooms of Sherlock Holmes are just as I would expect. It was a lot of fun to explore the home of London’s most famous sleuth! (Before any of you email me, I know Sherlock Holmes is not real. . . but he should be!)

(Before any of you email me, I know Sherlock Holmes is not real. . . but he should be!) This morning we hopped on the train and headed for Winchester. It ended up being a really fun little town. We wandered the shops and ate fish and chips before stopping at Winchester Cathedral. This is where Jane Austen is entombed. Paying a visit to her grave was a perfect ending to our trip. The cathedral itself is nothing to ignore either. It was gorgeous!
There was some sort of market going on down the main street so of course we had to do a little shopping before we stopped at the Great Hall. This is the last surviving bit of Winchester’s medieval castle. The Great Hall houses the famous King Arthur’s round table! No joke. Henry the eighth had it painted over so it looks a bit Tudor-ish now, but it was still pretty cool to see it!
That was pretty much our day. . . and that is 
pretty much the end of our trip! I hope you enjoyed following along. We had a great time living it! Wish us luck in getting all this stuff home. See 
you all soon!
