Lourdes Holiday - Day 1 - London

We got the 9.30 LNER train to London with first class seats. A nice little breakfast and then our own sandwiches for lunch before arriving at around 13.55. Easy check in at the Kings Cross Premier Inn before getting the quick train from St Pancras to Stratford International.

A short walk enjoying the gardens of the Olympic Park....


 ... and heading up ArcelorMittal Orbit - a sculpture made for the London 2012 Olympics with a slide down from the top. We skipped the slide and enjoyed the views from the top and a walk down (lift up).


After that we went to the London Aquatic Centre for the pool built for the London Olympics. 30 mins swim in a nice big pool.


Dinner at The Real Greek - nice greek mezze - then walk to the Abba concert. An enjoyable concert. Technically very impressive but somewhat soulless and overly produced music for the most part.
