Duration: 2 Day Minibreak
A very interesting weekend, with lots to do!
ITINERARY:
Saturday: An early start for our journey to London and The Olympic
London Explorer. We meet our tour guide in Stratford for morning
coffee. During the morning we drive over to the Lower Lee Valley
and a canny viewing point for the Olympic Park. Is the vast stadium
magnificent or a blancmange? You decide. Nearby, the Aquatic Centre
and Velodrome are taking shape, and there will also be a vast
shopping centre the size of Bluewater. It’s a fascinating
morning and a real eye opener. You will hear the entertaining
story of the first two London Olympics of 1908 and 1948. Back
to Stratford for a tasty roast beef or vegetarian lunch. You can
also buy hot drinks or bar drinks and desserts.
In the afternoon we begin with a drive through the changing landscape
of the Royal Docks where you will see Excel which will need no
further construction work to host the Boxing, Judo, Weightlifting,
Wrestling, Table Tennis and Taekwondo. Then we cross the Thames
for an interesting little drive out to see the longest parade
ground in the world over at the Woolwich Barracks where shooting
events will be held. Finally we stop inside the historic Woolwich
Arsenal where cups of tea may be bought to round off an exciting
day before heading to our Hotel.
Sunday: A leisurely start today with a London Duck Tour - an
amazing amphibious adventure. It’s fun, it’s quirky
and it’s different. A London Duck tour is much more than
a sightseeing tour, it’s the only way to experience the
spectacular sights and sounds of central London by land and river
without leaving the comfort of your seat.
