Last day.

Really hot day. Chris took us to a large park which is part of an estate in West London where we walked the dog, Hughey. There were beautiful lakes and the dogs were permitted to swim in them which Hughey did. We then walked through the park to the mansion gardens and had a cream tea. Chris lent us their National Trust passes and we did a tour of the house which was full of beautiful paintings and set up as it would have still been about 100 years ago or maybe longer as it was built in the late 1500's.
Then home in Chris's Saab with interesting local commentary all the way. Time now to get showered and packed ready for the long journey back to Aus.
Chris dropped us off at Heathrow at 2.30pm and we checked through with minimal fuss. Did some shopping at Harrod's and other nice stores at the airport.
Three eight hour flights (or near enough) which, whilst we didn't sleep much, we did manage to get through much better than expected.Read more
