London: A weird weekend to be in London, they've closed a number of main streets to facilitate bicycle racing, first amateurs, then professionals. Cabbies are furious with Mayor Boris Johnson, a rising star in the Tory/Conservative Party, for the closure which makes their lives miserable. Since it is a weekend, I'm not sure how the rest feel about it, maybe indifferent.
We depart from St. Pancras station tomorrow morning on the Eurostar , the train that takes the "Chunnel" or Channel Tunnel to France. It should have us in Paris in a very few hours. There we change stations via taxi and get another train to Zurich.
Anyway, we have a very early get-up tomorrow which will be less trouble since we're still jet-lagged. Tomorrow is also when we meet a few members of our tour group and the group leader, Geoff. The rest of the group join us in Zurich tomorrow evening.
