Lazy Easter Sunday

Probably the first day of our trip where we did nothing but stay indoors all day. We slept like logs and had some amazing home cooked food which was a welcome change for our appetite.

Welwyn Garden City is a lovely residential place with a lot of greenery around. But like most European places we have found, it is deserted. When we took a walk at 6 in the evening on a Sunday, there was not a soul on the road.

Ironically some holidays, Easter being one of them, is taken very seriously in England. Everything was shut. Huge departmental stores, small mom n pop stores, most eating joints and even public transport. It was eerie to an extent.

A relaxed day felt like a holiday after weeks of non stop working. We cooled our heels and it was decided that we would head to a Safari the next day.
