London
With both Michelle and Darren off work today, we head out with our guides to see the London sights. Using the hop-on-hop-off sight-seeing busses, we hope to cover a lot of ground today.
Starting with Buckingham Palace (bristling with William & Kate wedding souvenirs, but no guards with fluffy hats), then on to the Royal Mews (closed over the weekend), then off to Regent Street where we got off the bus to enter the paradise of kids (and kids at heart)... Hartleys, a massive 6 level toy store! Full of staff showing off the latest toys and kids begging parents for more. After an hour or so, we had a huge bag of goodies for the kids (& a little something for Craig) then we were off again to wander the streets.
We managed to fit in St Pauls (where Lady Di married Charles); wandered through a park to look for squirrels (which we found); took a ferry up the Thames back to the parliament buildings; took in the view of the London Eye (but the queue was way too long); then off for dinner at Waggamamas before we took in a show:
Wicked! An awesome musical, with the leading lady having the most incredible voice - absolutely fabulous!
