Today was the sight-seeing day – we walked for about 10
minutes to join the Hop On Hop Off bus for our tour of London. Once again it
was very cold but we were somewhat sheltered on top of the double decker bus
and enjoyed the scenery. The first time we hopped off was to look at St Paul’s
Cathedral…which we did for a few minutes before we started to really feel
frozen…so we hopped in to a nearby pub where we spent a pleasant hour eating
lunch (steak & ale pie with vegies) and having a drink.
We hopped back on and continued the tour, hopping off at
Westminster Abbey and walking via Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace. The
cold had started to seep into our bones so we hopped back on and finished the
loop, arriving back at the hotel at about 4pm.
Our next adventure was to head out to Stratford to meet up
with Carley, (Carly’s friend), and go to dinner at Jamie Oliver’s restaurant Jamie’s Italian. Carley had been in
Amsterdam for the weekend and was delayed getting back so Carly & I went by
ourselves…and we were glad that we did. It was really nice food and also had a
good vibe to it as well. Then it was back on the tube to the hotel – our last
night in London – we leave for Dubai tomorrow…not long now til we’re home.
