Well, we made it to Central London and had the chance to explore Covent Garden on our own for lunch. Students had about an hour to find something to eat and shop in one of London's iconic marketplaces. We don't need to connect back with the rest of the group until later, so we walked over to the National Gallery. The students are enjoying some peaceful moments with art after a rather hectic 24 hours. I guess this is their first encounter with what art can provide an urban landscape: quiet reflection and a chance to recharge with a little beauty.
I don't know if I'll post again today (Monday) as we are all hitting the wall pretty hard. There will be more updates tomorrow as we officially tour the city with a Blue Badge guide.
Cheers. L
