Day 02 – London

Sunshine greats us after a good night, another great escape from jet lag. Breakfast is taken in the refurbished dinning area, and the hash browns, eggs and beans are a welcome start. Today is a day to explore the centre of London so it is a nice stroll through Hyde park and down monument avenue to Buckingham palace, we arrive just in time for the changing of the guards, So along with thousands of other tourists we take in the pomp and ceremony of the occasion.

After the guards have changed we take a stroll down the Mall to Trafalgar Square. The square is busy with tourists taking in the street performers and we wander into the national gallery for a quick look at the art. 2 hours later we are off down Whitehall St to parliament and Westminster Abby, then a walk over the bridge to take in the London Eye.

After strolling back across the bridge it is a tube ride back to the hotel, unfortunately it is home time and the tube trains are packed, luckily we do not need to go to far.

After another nice tea and a couple of pints it is time to turn in, tomorrow begins our journey into the country side.
