Day 43 Kew

A nice slow and late start this morning as we watched the rain!
Coffee then the train to Westminster for the Thames river cruise to Hampton court. Rained had stopped, kinda as we took photos of Big Ben, Houses of Parliament and London Eye. 32 carriages on the Eye to represent the 32 boroughs in London.
We waited on Westminster pier but no boat arrived for our 12noon cruise!! On enquiry, we found we had the wrong embarking place...oops, read the invoice wrong!!! However we were offered a trip to Kew later so we headed for lunch. Yummy lunch outside behind the Eye as the rain and wind had stopped. 230pm back at the pier and away we went up the river which was good as we had been the other way yesterday. Under bridges and along the Thames past Chelsea, Putney, Battersea Power Station and to Kew Pier 1.5hrs later. We had a brief walk around and enjoyed an ice cream before heading back to London. Raining again so we headed home to watch Emm Radacanu win in 2 sets against Maria Sakkari.
Planning our unexpected day at Wimbledon for tomorrow.Read more
