โAt first, the odd spot of bus lurching had everyone reaching to steady their cups of tea, and dainty sandwiches. But before long, we all cottoned onto the fact that the cup lids, drinks holders and secured cake stands were doing an admirable job of steadying everything anyway. Which left us with not-too-shabby task of sitting back to relax, eat and take in the view.โ
โWe caught the bus at Victoria Coach Station. We boarded the bus and found all the tables already set up. It was a beautiful set up. Two-tiered stands set up at each place setting filled with food. The bottom tier is filled with savoury sandwiches. Finger sandwiches filled with cucumber and cream cheese, little buns filled with chicken and salad and smoked salmon and cream cheese. The top tier was filled with sweet concoctions, like chocolate cupcakes, lemon tarts and red velvet treats. Half way through our bus ride, out host Gabor came around with warm scones served with clotted cream and jam. This was definitely a treat! It was a perfect way to spend the afternoon. We saw sights like Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Harrods. The bus provided a great view of the people and the crowds on the street.โ
