Sunday

74. London

We travelled up to London, arriving about midday. We had the rest of that day, and most of the next before we had to be at Heathrow for our flight home. Both days were sunny and warm, consistent with the whole trip where we were blessed with gorgeous weather, perfect for touring, never too hot. The only rain we saw was in Cornwall.

Below: We did the tour of Lord's Cricket Ground.



After Lord's we walked to Regent's Park, and after something to eat at the cafe, decided to hire one of the peddle boats for a drift around the boating lake. It was a most beautiful summer's day (1 July), and Londoners were doing what they do best under such conditions - shucking off their clothes and sunning themselves on deckchairs in the parks.









Below: We went to see Avenue Q at the Noel Coward Theatre in the West End. Fabulously funny rude muppets.

Below: Aaaah, another airport. Plastic food, plastic seating. Actually I found a great food outlet with very non-plastic fresh salad. Called EAT., specialising in salads.
