A magnificient day at least 30 degrees today and as this was not expected we dp not necessarily have the correct clothes for this weather and it nearly being winter the shops do not have much to buy either.
Last night was great fun at a restaurant called Babylon in Kensington with Adam (30 year old nephew). Babylon is owned by Richard Branston and is this beautiful restaurant with a terrace that looks over London and then these unbelievable gardens that goe on forever that we walked around after dinner - there were even pink Flamingos it was something very unexpected in London.
Today we were not early starters again but managed to fit in aheap of stuff. We started at Abbey Road recording studios and naturally took our photos walking across the famous pedestrian crossing. Then back on the big red bus and to Leicester Square to buy our half proce tickets to Legally Blonde the musical tonight (it was great). From their we went to to Nelsons Column in Trafalgar Square and saw the countdown clock to the London Olympics and a little sit by the fountains.
Off to Westminster Abbey and I cannot believe that in all the times I have been to London I have never been inside - it has to be one of the most beautiful chirches I have ever seen. Tombs of people like, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, All the Kings and Queens naturally, Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton and that is just a few.
On the Tibe then and back to the hotel for a quick change and off in a cab to Covent Garden for dinner (we have to go back there in the next couple of days and then the Theatre. Just back now at the hotel after catching another big red bus.
A fun day and I hope I can load the pics otherwise they will be on Facebook
