Travel Day - Tenby to London

August 27:  A short report for this day - we traveled from Tenby, Wales to London, England.

As typical for a travel day, we were up and out of bed promptly.  After a quick breakfast, we completed the last minute packing and cleaned the flat.  By 9 am we were ready to walk to the train station with all of our luggage.  We took our time and arrived by 9:30, giving us about an hour wait for the train to Paddington Station, no changes.  The train ride took about 6 hours, the first half getting out of Wales was very slow, stopping at many local stations and the the second half, across southern England, was much faster.  We arrived at Paddington about 4:15, hopped the Underground to Euston Square, and walked to the Mentone Hotel, our home for the next 4 nights.

We walked to the Islington area for dinner, finding Canas y Tapas, a Spanish tapas place which was having an "all you can eat" and a "two for one" drink specials.  The restaurant would only allow three dishes at a time.  We ordered by writing numbers on a chalk board at our table.  The waitress came and noted the numbers, put our order into the computer and a few minutes later someone would bring the dishes.  We enjoyed 8 very tasty tapas plates and 2 glasses of white wine Sangrias.
