The next morning, they were very, very happy 

to wake up to an amazing buffet breakfast at the Andaz Liverpool Street hotel. 

Higher Tourisming Indeed!!!

On the way back to London, they had to put bags on their feet to protect the car from all the mud.

And they danced like mad while watching The Prodigy perform.

Kim found a cozy spot next to the sound engineer.

They were escorted to the VIP guest platform,

 while security guards kept back a massive crowd of crazed (Prodigy) fans.

Kim and Stephanie struggled with determination through miles and miles of mucky muck, finally making it to the comfort and champagne of the VIP backstage area.

...but Kim still managed to look fabulous as always!

... muddy...

It was very...

...to the very mad and wacky midlands and the Download Festival.

From London they hopped on another train and went for a ride through the lovely English countryside.

When they got to London, the first thing they did was have a fish and chips in the beautiful historical pub of the Andaz Liverpool Street hotel.
