Despite the light rain and threatening skies, we decided to "do" London. Well, as best we could in a day. Minicab to Staines station, to watch the beautiful people going the other way to Ascot, excellent express train to london Waterloo. Big Bus to St Paul's Cathedral, then through the City to the Tower of London; a superb commentary / performance by a Beefeater teaching us all a little bit of history; out past the Traitor's Gate to catch a cruise back up the Thames to Westminster. Stand in awe on the Victoria Embankment looking at the Houses of Parliament and listening to Big Ben strike 4pm. A black cab back to London Waterloo to catch the return train to Staines with a minute to spare.
A record of the amazing adventures of two senior Australians visiting the UK. One post per day (usually). Please click on "Older Posts" (lower left at bottom of post) to see previous day. If the pictures won't load, click on "View all images".
