Kevin has arrived safely in London and we have checked in to our usual London haunt, the Holiday Inn at Camden Lock. Kevin is very high status in their rewards program and therefore we often get a room upgrade. Today we are in a penthouse suite on the 5th floor with a nice view over Camden.

For dinner I treated Kevin to a visit to the Darwin Brasserie at the Sky Garden. The food was good but very expensive because you are paying for the view: 35 floors up looking out over the Thames and South London. You can get in for free during the day. We had to do dinner because of our schedule. I heartily recommend the view.

Tomorrow morning we’ll be up before the lark and off to catch the Eurostar to Paris where we change onto a TGV to Barcelona.
