Our last day in London, feeling much better

Finally! I'm feeling much, much better, and, my dear sweet love is also much better today. So, we did some sightseeing today including the London Eye. We booked a Pimm's Flight and it was wonderful!

We also took a river cruise on the Thames. Now that was nice! It was relaxing, romantic and informative. I never knew these "touristy" things were so much fun. I have always avoided tours such as these thinking they were silly and most of the times simple rip-offs. I am very glad to tell you this was not the case with these two attractions. The river cruise gives you a different perspective of the city, and, offers some great photo opportunities.

Tomorrow we head for Paris via the Chunnel and the Eurostar. We splurged a bit and booked Leisure Select class, but, it is only a 2 hour and 15 minute journey from London to Paris, and, I am sure for such a fast trip we would be just as happy in Standard class. Regardless, my love is determined to spoil me and he is doing a fine job.

I'm not sure how much time I will have to blog tomorrow but, I will try to write something. As for the remainder of today, we are taking a break for now, and, then heading out for a bit more sightseeing, having dinner at The French Table which has come highly recommended from nearly everyone we've spoken to about recommended restaurants. And thanks to an outstanding concierge at The Goring Hotel we were able to exchange our La Cage tickets for this evening.

It's nearly 4pm here in London, we went to see the King and I at Royal Albert Hall last night, it was very enjoyable as far as the show, but, I can see my love was miserable (in spite of the brave face). We went straight back to the hotel after the show, and, we slept in very late, I think did us both a world of good. I actually have color back in my face today, and, my love isn't sneezing, coughing and just miserable as he was yesterday. We finally rose around 12:30pm, and, went out for brunch. After brunch we proceeded for some light shopping and browsing in Harrods.

We're back at The Goring for a rest, and, going to cut this short since we're heading down to tea right now.

More to come so please check back!

We're going to the theater, are we crazy?

It's heading for 4pm here in London, and, against my better judgment, we are going out to dinner and the theater this evening. While I'm a bit better, my love is worse, and, I hate that he wants to go out just for my benefit. We're back at the hotel, and, he is taking a shower. He has a fever, and, he isn't going to enjoy this, so, why are we going?

I swear, until the day I die, I will never understand men. They're either totally macho or total wusses when they get sick. I see I have Mr. Macho here. I hear him in there coughing his brains out.

I will write again tomorrow... I love him, but, right now I just wish he'd let himself be sick.

Traveling, Europe and Sex to Cure Our Colds

My bags are packed, my car service is ordered, my new love interest has called me no less than 10 times in the past 48 hours, and, my cold is as bad as it was yesterday. I'm going to the doctor this morning, and, then to the pharmacy to arm myself with everything I can to help this rotten cold clear up from my head and chest. I'm dreading this flight tonight. Didn't think things could get worse for me, guess again? My love interest also now has a cold. Amazing how many people either had, have or are coming down this cold.

We vowed that we are going to throw our original itinerary out the window, and, just rest up in London for a few days. If we feel up to it, we'll do some very light sightseeing tomorrow and take one of those double decker bus tours, however, I'm sure jet-lack coupled with my cold will get the better of me, and, since my love's cold just began last night, he'll probably be feeling worse tomorrow. More likely than not we will probably spend tomorrow in bed. (Turns out sex is good for a cold: click here for more information)

I have no idea what we're going to do about our show tickets, I'm sure by tomorrow night my new love will be very much under the weather and, making him (and me) go out in the rain which is forecast tomorrow for London would be crazy. I'm sure we'd both end up with pneumonia and, no show is worth it.

So, we spent last night rearranging our Eurostar (train) tickets and, pushed our departure to France back until Wednesday, and, as a result we wouldn't have as much time in Spain for me to meet my loves family and friends but, we will get as much done as we can.

Off to the doctor for me. The next post will be London!
