London Day 1

Well we are off the ship and now in London. Day started off early enough as we had to vacate room by 8am, we had our final breakfast and then waited until our time to disembark which was 9.15. We sadly walked down the gangplank for the last time to be greeted with cold wet windy rain........and after collecting our luggage we found our car driver who was driving us to our Hotel. The trip took around 90 mins and as it was around 11.30am we dropped off our luggage, put up our umbrella and went in search of lunch. Had lunch then wandered down to Trafalgar Square (2 mins from Hotel) and to stay dry and warm we went into the National Gallery and had a quick look around at the paintings. It was then time for us to check into our room, very nice and 3 times the size of our cabin!
We spent the afternoon unpacking and Katie did a lot of internet catching up as we have free internet in our room. When we got here they offered us a room upgrade (for a price of course) and I took it.......who knows if I will ever get back here again!
After relaxing for a few hours I decided I needed some cotton buds and imagine my shock when we realised that we had left one small blue zip up Coles bag (like those green bags) back on the dock.........We had sent 4 bags down the night before all tagged and were carrying four off this morning (just small ones), so when we got to the luggage area we saw our 3 big bags, already had 4 with us plus handbags , and completely forgot the 4th small one.....
So at 6.45pm, went into a slight panic trying to find a phone number to call.....rang 3 different numbers and all were closed for the day . Finally found one to leave a message on, so hopefully will get hold of them in the morning before we go on our Stonehenge tour at 11am (need to leave hotel at 10am).
Funny thing is is we can't really think what was in the bag.....well cotton buds and cotton balls, some toner, 2 dresses of Katie's, some Limoncello and hopefully not too many  "presents". But am confident it will be returned tomorrow, that way I can sleep tonight :)
Anyway we then went out and bought some bread and cheese for dinner and we are having an early night................stay tuned.
