July 3 - Arriving in London

First stop - Shannon, Ireland

Since we were flying Aer Lingus, we would first stop in Shannon. We arrived after 5 hours, and then waited 2 before our flight to London. Customs was in Shannon since we entered the UK there first.

We ate at Caffè Nero. Said goodbye to the ladies, who headed to their hotel in London, and we headed to the Hilton Garden where our driver picked us up. Found him and off we went. Andy and I both dozed a bit in the car.

Got to The Arden Hotel and checked in. We are in the Aspen room. All the rooms are based on a tree. We walked around Stratford-upon-Avon and found the Rose & Crown for a Guiness for Andy and a water for me. Headed to Libertine Burgers for a late lunch. Walked back to the hotel, then headed to Garrick Inn for another meal.

Back to the hotel and bed.
