London
We had a lazy start and wandered to the train station – caught the fast train to London, Waterloo, dropped down into The Underground, Northern Line to Totenham Court Road, changed to Central Line and popped out at Queensway (132 steps underground!) – five minute walk to our hotel and we were home.
Not to waste the daylight hours we embarked on a journey through Kensington Park, Hyde Park, past Marble Arch, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, found ourselves in the ‘Pride in London’s Gay march and concert, joined in for awhile …
then across the Thames and joined the queue for the London Eye at 8.30pm. Our birdseye view of Big Ben. St Pauls, etc etc was fabulous.
We stopped for some dinner on the way back, again dropped into the underground at Charing Cross and finally made it home. Every pub has either the World Cup or Wimbledon on big screen so it’s been easy to keep up
