The last blog of the holiday, the last London Blog. We have had a really nice last day, a lunch of noodles at Ned's Noodle Bar, followed by a quick look around the the Foyer of the Saatchi Gallery, damned if I am giving those buggers a penny, besides we didn't have the time. Then the trip on the London Eye which I highly recommend to anyone. Got lost again around London Bridge and Guy's hospital, but thewife asked someone and we were kinda headed on the right track.

We had hoped to go to the Tower of London but basically we ran out of time. A quick look around the South Bank again where thewife saw something previously that she wanted to get for me birthday and turned out place was open and she got me a designer waiter's friend which will come in handy indeed.

Then off to Chinatown for dinner. thewife really likes Chinese food and frankly I don't, for vegetarians its horrible bland nonsense. Every so often I have one last shot just to please her, but honestly it never gets any better. So imagine my surprose when I get deep fried tofu (Which lets face it is boring tasteless shit) with garlic and chillies and my god I love it. This is the best Chinese food I have tasted. She sort of purred her way through an entire duck knows, we may return.

Then home. Its a bit late and we have to get up early tomorrow, so a glass of Andy's fizzy and then bed. I thought about trying to change the flight time, but the prices on offer are a joke, with Ryanair you have to book a few weeks in advance for the cheap stuff. Both our return flights cost collectively � 62 whereas for a single on the same flight tomorrow, they are looking for � 90. So its early to bed.

A final thanks to the reidboy and Jo for their kind hospitality, to Andy for the reminisences and Ken for the tube.
