After I straightened out the credit card glitch, I spent a few hours locking in entry tickets to museums and tours. I didn’t anticipate the layer of anxiety choosing a time would be. What if I’m tired? What if I get lost en route? What if I am captivated by a particular exhibit and don’t want to move on? What if I’m drawing and lose track of time?
In the end, I erred on the side of simplicity and booked one venue a day. If I have the energy for more, I can walk up and hope there’s a ticket available. I’ll also make a list of unticketed things to do. All bakeries deserve a visit. Ditto gardens in fair weather. I have multiple audio walking tours on a Dickensian theme downloaded to my phone. Meandering along the Serpentine is always a fine choice. Sadly, I’ll miss the annual Swan Upping since it’s a July event.
