This page contains the pictures of my 5 day holiday to London in May. It was an organized excursion bus trip.




Monday

On Monday morning a pendel bus of the travel organization took me too the transfer point in "Lage Zwaluwe". Here a lot of busses would leave to destinations all over Europe.

Friday

Time to go home.

There are no pictures for two reasons:
a) No interesting things to see, just driving home.
b) No memory left.
