A view of London from the night bus

Everyone who has lived in London at one time or another has some interesting, mostly horrific, night bus stories. I have steered away for that reason and the last time I got on one was many years ago. Tonight was an exception. No cabs in site, and the N19 (which goes right past my house) was there so jumped on it!

What a pleasant ride! The streets of Mayfair were full of people and traffic! The city of London, which many say is dead compared to other capitals of the world, was alive at 1am! There were people laughing, some drunk, others just beginning their night. The West End was more of the same and even more buzz. I saw a fight, a couple cuddling tenderly, friends saying heartfelt (drunken) goodbyes.

It is nights like these that make me wonder if I will ever leave London ...
