    It was my final full day in London. Sad but true.

    It was also another double-show day. I went to the West End to see “Orlando” with Emma Corrin. It was based on a Virginia Woolf novel I had read many years ago, and I was curious to see what it would be like as a play. Plus, it was cool to see another celebrity on stage. The play was really well done, although the sets for a little spartan for my taste. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it as I had a very good seat. I don't mind spending a little more on shows now to get to experience productions a lot closer than being way up in a balcony somewhere.

    Afterwords I had a little time to kill and then I was back in another theater to see a show called “2:22,” a suspenseful mystery/ghost story. I really did enjoy that show and I've been recommending it to others. I believe it's another long-term play in London. I next headed over to Covent Garden and got photos of all their Christmas decorations, which were plentiful. Then I headed along the strand to walk back to my flat near St. Paul's Cathedral.

    Back of the flat, I packed up all my things as I would be leaving in the morning.
