Waterloo - London October 19, 2003
 
Sunday morning we awoke to gloomy skies that added to the sad reality our tour was fast coming to and end.
We left Waterloo around 09:00 and with a hour stop in Stratford to wait for the International, we arrived
in London about 16:00. A special thanks to everyone that made the trip a reality. I know there were countless hours
that went into the planning of this trip and to those people, a big "tip of the hat".
It was a once in  a lifetime opportunity to be part of the Oktoberfest tour and I met some great people and have
lots of memories to keep me warm over the winter.
"wait till next year"
