Friday, May 8, 2009 - Paris to London

7:15 A.M. - breakfast
7:45 A.M. - load the coach
8:15 A.M. - leave campsite

Some people were staying in Paris and some had already left, so we were a few heads short on our drive out of Paris. We stopped at the airport to drop off a few more people as well. Now off to Calais to catch the ferry back to England.

Got back to London about 4:30 P.M., unloaded the coach, said our goodbyes. Now on to Canary Wharf to meet Scott. I had called him while on the ferry to say that I would be in around 6:00 P.M. Caught the tube - I was worried about the tube being crowded and having to carry my big bag and backpack but it was really alright and not too busy.

Got to Canary Wharf around 5:30 P.M. and tried to call Scott. Wrong #. Tried again. Wrong #. Starting to freak out. In the middle of nowhere, surrounded by tall sky scrapers and people dressed in black suits. Just sat on a park bench and waited, hoping. Scott texted me around 6:00 P.M. to say he was just getting off work. Less worried now. I think Scott's phone number was not working because it was the first time that I was calling from within England and I did not need the extra exit code in the phone number. Anyways it all worked out in the end.

Scott took me to a bar for a drink while we raited for his girlfriend, Suzanne, to get off work.

We then went to an asian restaurant and had dinner. I had the chicken kaatsu entree.

Then we needed to take the tube and then a bus to Scott's apartment.

We watched some British comedy show and then I took a shower and went to bed.
