Onto the continent
So this morning we arose disgustingly early, after sleeping fitfully waiting for the alarm. We got ourselves organised and went over the road to Paddington Station's taxi rank where we caught a cab to the Marble Arch Thistle Hotel to join our tour at 5.15am. But it was so nice to have a lovely gentleman standing there as we paid the cab (I thought …
