We left London Tuesday to overnight in Zurich before catching the Singapore Airlines flight back to Melbourne via Singapore. Overall an uneventful conclusion to our UK and Ireland adventure.

We catch the train from Waterloo Station to Alton in Hampshire and walk the Jane Austen trail through to Jane Austen’s House Museum in Chawton.
Jane lived in this house from 1809 until shortly before her death in 1817 at the age of 41. Most of her writing occurred in this house.
A pleasant morning walking Hamstead Heath and visit the summer fair in Hamstead.
John catches the train out to Bletchley, the site of Bletchley Park and the home of the code breakers during the Second World War and the worlds first computer – Colossus. Kept secret during and after the war, the park has been restored and opened to the public with many of the huts restored to original condition.
Sets and and costumes from the film ‘The Imitation Game’ based on the life of Alan Turing were also on display.
Off to see Kinky Boots, at the Adelphi Theatre on The Strand. A great show!
Back in London we stay in a AirBnB bedsit in Belsize Park. We are just two stops away on the Northern line from Camden Town so take a quick trip to check out the markets.
The photos can speak for themselves. We’re just glad we went on a weekday, not the weekend, very crowded!
