Day Ten

We headed back to London, but first we stopped at Leeds Castle for a tour and lunch. I had made a friend who likes high tea as much as I do so -- yes -- we had high tea there!

Leeds Castle

High tea

We left Leeds Castle to take a small railway trip between two towns in Kent. It was very nice, but unfortunately this was the first day we had rain.  It didn't really stop us. We had been so lucky, at least for all the gardens and tours, so we could not complain. This was a nice way to end the trip.

We then got back on the bus for the trip back into London, a traffic nightmare.  We stayed at the same place we met. Some people were flying home that night. I had made a reservation for one more day, as it was so late getting into London.

To be honest, I was quite glad to see my hotel room. The tour had been marvelous, but the pace every day was quite fast. The Tour group had drinks and hors d'oeuvres at the hotel and Sarah Gristwood ended with a talk about Chivalry and modern monarchy. And yes, we did discuss who was Team Meaghan and who was Team Kate!

Tea on the train!
