Monday London eye, Greenwich, dinner at cafe ?? les miserable
Up early this morning to beat the crowds to the London eye! We are a bit like Londoners in the respect that we don't queue, that is for us unless absolutely necessary. We timed it all well and got there as it opened and we were on the first round for the day. Well worth it for the views, Sydney should have one of these probably at Barranggaroo.
Off to Greenwich on a ferry to see the Cutty Sark and where time and distance is measured from (of course Thai was at the top of a very big hill)
Tuesday Churchills war rooms, selfridges and harrods
Tuesday up early again with the idea to go to Westminster Abbey, the queues put an end to that so we went round the corner to Churchills war room no queue straight in, however when we left the queue was enormous. Wow this was really interesting, it is under parliament and where Churchill ran his war. It was also a very good bomb shelter.
Great place for history and war buffs.we left here and went to see Harry selfridges and mr fayed.
We walked the long way home through Hyde park, Kensington gardens, Notting Hill Gate and Bayswater. Big day!
Wednesday -wedding anniversary St. Paul's cathedral, dinner at Jamie's Italian mousetrap
Another early morning and happy 31st anniversary to us! Off to St. Paul's cathedral
What a beautiful cathedral designed and built by our old friend Christopher Wren, he's popped up a lot this trip. We climbed to the whispering gallery and onto the very top. Only 5 hundred plus steps, not so many as St Peters 867 but a good step workout none the less! The view was very rewarding tho.
We found the twinnings museum purely by accident, and went in for a sample!
Jamie's Italian for dinner then on to mousetrap. Great day.
Sitting outside at Jamie's and Bill Graingers is right behind me!
Lovely old theatre
The seven dials was jumping.
