touristy bits and beer
Slow start after a 2am finish. Urgh. The sun has left us today so I think we have seen the best of the weather for this trip. Looking ahead at the weather back home it isn’t good either. Back to normal UK spring & summer conditions.
May has been an exhausting month and I’m looking forward to a few quiet days at home. It’s quite pleasant sitting in my home office/conservatory at this time of year whatever the weather. I’ll be able to get on with the coast to coast walk video.
Skipped breakfast today. Bit of a lie in. These conferences are long days and hard work. Did think about popping out this afternoon to see the Royal Palace. Supposed to be worth a visit. We passed it en route to and from the Little Mermaid Statue last night. The Little Mermaid was surrounded by what looked like a bus load of Japanese tourists and was a metre or two away from the water’s edge so I didn’t get right up to her.
Ended up eating oysters, prawns and what looked like baby lobsters at a fish restaurant whose name totes escapes me and thence to Warpigs, a cool if noisy bar in the meatpacking district. The others walked back to the hotel but Baz, Greg and I nipped in a cab and ended up in the Mash bar on the 12th floor of the hotel. We avoided the whisky bof which would have had bad consequences.
Next step is to nip down to the meeting and see who has yet to surface which I suspect will be most of them.
