Our cruise came to a close this morning, and I plan to post reflections about our experience once we return to Colorado. Suffice it to say, we had a wonderful time, and disembarkation was bittersweet. We were sad to leave but looking forward to our time in London.

There are several ways to get to London from Greenwich, but Tim and I had decided to take an Uber Boat, the fastest and most scenic option. Despite having to deal with three rollaboard suitcases, we did just fine, and I’d choose this alternative again.

The cruise along the River Thames was very pleasant, and we were able to see many of London’s landmarks, both old and new. We got off the boat at the Embankment Pier and ended up walking to our hotel. We had originally planned to get a cab, but we didn’t see any, and the walk was easy enough, even with our luggage.

We are staying at the Great Scotland Yard Hotel, where we were able to use our Hyatt points. Although the hotel is located on Great Scotland Yard Road in Westminster, it never had any connection with Scotland Yard. The hotel is lovely, our room is great, and it’s in a great location for sightseeing.

We walked around our neighborhood for a while, but we were happy to take a break. We’ll start touring tomorrow.
