Another day, another adventure in London

This morning I took an inadvertently long walk to get a coffee and toasted sandwich for breakfast near Marble Arch. Once I’d refuelled, I decided to wander through Hyde Park and the Green Park, past Buckingham Palace, before catching the train to Stevenage. But! I was obviously having too much fun and missed it! 🤣 Luckily, I had a flexible off-peak ticket and could jump on the next one - however, I’ll probably have to take “is punctual” off my resume. 😅😅😅

I met up with Lynda and Mandy for a good old-fashioned chin wag and very tasty lunch at Nando’s. We have it in Australia, but nothing comes close to the real thing. Thanks for having me, Lynda! It was great to see you again (plus, the chocolates survived the journey to London… surprisingly).

After lunch, I caught the train back to King’s Cross just as the sun broke through and lit up the station and surrounding areas magnificently. Trying to stay off my feet, I took the Tube to Tower Hill - but of course, I ended up walking a few more kilometres once I got there. It’s safe to say my feet are SORE!

Later in the afternoon, I rode the Tube to Westminster where I was treated to a stunning sunset over Horse Guards Parade. (The picture doesn’t do it justice!) After another fun day exploring London’s tourist hotspots, I headed back to my hotel for a quick rest before grabbing a club sandwich for dinner at the pub just down the road. Yum.
