Up early again in wild anticipation of birthday presents, but alas none forthcoming . Today off to the Tower of London. We have a lovely walk through Hyde Park to Kensington to catch the tube passing Kensington Palace. As you can see by hthe photo it was the anniversary of Diana's death and some haven't forgotten. We and stopped for a coffee at Bill's ( and for some WiFi that the executive apartments don't provide) and then onto the Tower of London.
This was a fantastic place and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Just so much preserved history and we wasted over 4 hours here and still didn't see everything. Armoury was great but nothing like the one at Madrid Place. The crown jewels exhibition was superb and just wandering around the whole site was well worth it.
After the Tower we wandered around and then caught a ferry on the river and then back to Westminster. Tube back to South Kensington where we had lovely pastry and coffee before a mall jaunt around a little department store called Harrod's. Luckily got out alive and spent only £5 on an Harrod's fine ale. Then a lovely 2mile walk through Hyde Park looking at the Albert memorial and back to the "Deluxe". Exhausted!!
Quick change and then off to Piccadilly circus to meet Jo for dinner. Met at a Brazilian BBQ restaurant which served meat, meat and then more meat. Vegetarian heaven I'd say, not; however the salads and vego options looked great as well. Couple Brazilian beers , chatting and food and the evening was over, so caught the tube back, Jo getting us off at the appropriate station and we wandered back to the short bed and well deserved sleep.
For those who know Jo, she is really well, looking fantastic and loving her job. Was really the right move to move back home, close to mum and her other sisters . Sorry no photo as she wouldn't let me.
