On the Plane

Sorry I haven’t written in a while. I had to pack and leave late last night.
It is now Saturday and I am on the plane on my way to the River Thames.
I will be staying at the Southend-on-sea in Thorpe Bay.
It is supposed to be very luxurious.
I will get a facial and a massage after my visit to the River as I think I will need it.

I am thought about going on a tour to the River Thames but then I thought about it and you wouldn't be able to explore it and enjoy it.
Well the plane is going to land soon so I better go.
When I get to my hotel I will be unpacking and then getting ready to go to the River.
When I get back from the river I will have about 15 minutes before I go to the Massage and Facial that I have booked, so I will use that time to write a new blog about the River.
Catcha Later
