End of Loncon / Farewell London

Maybe I've been holding off on this post, because I just didn't want Loncon to end.

Though by the fifth day [livejournal.com profile] murasaki_1966 and I were just exhausted.

( the last two days of Loncon and the last week in London )

Farewell England, we've had a great time.

Loncon 3 - Fourth Day and Hugos

And so we enter the downhill run - energywise, rather than qualitywise.

Loncon 3 - First Day

So we determined the first rule of Loncon at the ExCel Centre pretty early on - get off at the next station.
