London Day 2

This morning we took a walk along the canal near our hotel. Started off quite nicely, some pretty boats and eateries. Deteriorated into a old barge boatyard after a few kilometres so we ditched it and took the bus over to Rick Stein’s restaurant for lunch.

It’s overlooking the River Thames and we had a window table which was lovely. Nice food but for the price a little underwhelming.

Quick trip over to Buckingham Palace as Marl and Millie hadn’t been there yet. It was hopping with lots of tourist about. It’s King Charles birthday celebrations in a couple of days and they have all the flags up and barricades around everywhere. So different to last time we saw it, only a couple of people around then. We still managed to get some nice shots without too many people in them.

We are going to see The Lion King tonight so we grabbed a taxi back to the hotel for a few hours rest. Another lot of two for one cocktails in the bar before we set off for the theatre.

What an amazing show, incredible costumes and set, great dancing and beautiful singing. What more could you ask for. I don’t know how they managed those costumes but they were incredible. All the animal were fabulous, moved just like the real thing does. We all loved it.

It has rained while we’ve been in the theatre , but we managed to stay dry for a quick trip home on the underground.Read more
