Headed off this morning to have one last look at Kenton and then set course for Saffron Walden via Cambridge. Had our usual fun at one roundabout but after a few round and rounds finally got the right exit and away on the motorways. The day was pleasant enough but noted a few clouds on distant horizon. We were pleased to leave the greater London area, it was too hectic for us. We also agreed that Qld has better house designs! The endless rows of the semi deta...

Another day catching trains, and the agenda today is Westminster Cathedral. The sun was shining brightly, Summer is here this week. Hopped off at Westminster Station and walked over to the Cathedral. Joined the queue and 30 mins later we were inside, I did not realize how big the Cathedral really is. You get a leaflet guide along with an Acoustiguide that explains each of the 28 areas. There are just heaps of memorial plaques and sculptures all around the Ab...

Caught the train and then walked down Pall Mall, it is gorgeous with the beautiful trees overshadowing it. Seeing it was quite warm today the coolness was apprecia...

Headed off to the train station again this morning. Today we are going to the Tower of London. Had to change lines a couple of times because we went to Regent street first to get our London pass authorized and arrived at the Tower where we had an instant entry because of the London Pass. That was great because there were long queues. There were lots of groups of tourists, I could hear all sorts of languages and see different nationalities. Well, the Tower of ...

Yesterday we left at 11am and headed over to London, took about 6 hours on the M25 and M4. Managed to get through nearly all the roundabouts this time without a repeat exit strategy! After booking in at the hotel we went for a walk down the road and found a nice fish shop and had plaice and chips and salad for tea. Today, Friday, headed off at 8am to Eastcote station and into London. Had to go to Picadilly Circus station to get our train pass exchanged for tic...
