LONDON: DAY 5, OUR LAST DAY

Actually, our last full day in London had been the previous day. We spent the morning of day 5 packing and getting to the airport (despite the tube strike, the train to Heathrow was still running). We hadn't had much time to grab breakfast, but luckily, Heathrow has an enormous food court/ shopping area with lots of local chains. Oh, FYI, if you're ever taking a flight from Heathrow, spend as much time as you can in this area. Once you go to your gate, there's NOTHING. Not even bathrooms. And they do another security check just to get into the gate waiting area, so leaving is a pain.

I picked up some last minute snacks at E.A.T. Here's my crawfish sandwich with argula and lime

And here's a very yummy edamamae salad with green peas.

Both items were quite fresh and delicious. And that's the thing with London, they have a total culture of take out food, and there are a ton of places that provide really delicious entrees, snacks, whatever, all to be eaten on the go or at home (and it's much better than anything we have in the states). Places like Marks and Spencer, E.A.T. and Sainsbury are all great places to get less expensive foods on the go. I know that historically food in England has been terrible, but on this trip, we ate better than we did in Paris (ok, speaking the language helps), so now you know, if you're planning a trip to London, you'll be able to find great food, though not always at the lowest prices (stupid exchange rate). We had a great time in London, but were happy to come home and just relax.
