Day 1. Thursday We depart and travel to London. On arrival at the Novotel London West the remainder of the day will be free for you to explore. Please Note: Bedrooms may not be available to check into until approximately 16:00. Relax with a drink in the bar, until we depart and make our way to the Royal Albert Hall, one of the world’s most famous stages. To celebrate 40 years of dreaming the impossible, Cirque du Soleil return to the Royal Albert Hall, with their most joyous and jubilant show. Somewhere between heaven and earth, Mauro, a clown is dreaming. Watched on by angels, Mauro dreams of a carnival where a parade of revellers are celebrating his life. Juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection, the audience are plunged into a theatrically thrilling world celebrating Cirque du Soleil at its best. Beautifully poetic, CORTEO highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, so as to illustrate the humanity within each of us. On completion, the coach will return to the hotel. Hotel on a bed & breakfast basis.
Day 2. Friday Today is free for you to explore London at your own pace. The coach will operate a complimentary transfer to Covent Garden one of London’s most-loved neighbourhoods. Set in London’s West End, Covent Garden is a vibrant, must-see destination for anyone who enjoys shopping, theatre, restaurants, bars, history, and culture. Things to see in and around Covent Garden include the Transport Museum, where you can discover the story of London's transport past and present, the Royal Opera House, Somerset House, and Covent Garden’s Apple Market. The Covent Garden Apple Market was once home to the world-famous fruit and vegetable market and it continues to support market traders today, offering a range of unique handmade crafts and goods throughout the week. It is also home to some of London’s most loved dining concepts, from breakfast to brunch, fine dining or grab and go bites, Covent Garden is a foodie’s paradise, filled with a diverse array of options to suit all taste buds and budgets. Later this afternoon, we will depart London and begin our return journey home.
