Day 8 London

Our last day in London, and in England, was unfortunately wet, so we had a quiet morning, hoping it would fine up. We had lunch, then headed for the underground which would take us to Kensington Gardens. It was still quite wet, and Wok was pretty tired after yesterday, so we decided the outdoor venue was not a good idea. Later in the afternoon when the rain had stopped we went out for a walk around our local area.

We made our way down to the river for one last look. We had yet another view of the Eye, and Big Ben, but the most impressive sight was the number of people having their after-work drink with friends. The bars are small, and unable to accommodate the drinkers, so the crowds spill out onto the footpath, and then onto the street, if there’s not too much passing traffic. And the noisy conversation! We found a somewhat more sedate venue and had a drink before coming home.

Our photos today are a small reminder that we’ve been staying in what was the newspaper centre of Britain until the late ‘80s. This is our last blog. We’ll be seeing many of you in person soon. Thanks for travelling with us. We wish you God’s blessings. From Lyn & WokRead more
