We departed on time and arrived on time - Air Canada should set set a small goal for itself by trying to do the same. Perhaps with hourly, daily and weekly repetition working toward a habit Air Canada might get there.
We started out Monday morning with a walk around our neighbourhood to acquaint ourselves with the surroundings and landmarks to get our sense of direction. Steph had run earlier in Hyde Park so we headed there to show me how close we are to the park. En route we met these fellows out for a morning trot.
Now, can you imagine stop lights at intersections for this mode of travel!
From the park we walked back to Oxford Street and started our stroll up the street with walk through
The day was busy - Marble Arch, Oxford Street, Bond Street, Grosvenor Square, Green Park and many more! We ended our daytime walkabout with a visit to the Buckingham Palace.
Yes, we did see the palace guards
The kitsch for the day was our evening roll on the London Eye
For the faint of heart the roll is verrrrry slow and the pods are enclosed and secure
For the view of Big Ben and Parliament the ride is well worth the expense
Tired and hungry we slogged our way back to our room stopping at Rotten Ronnie's for a snack.
When I bit into my burger I thought what a contrast this is to our upcoming dinner at Gordon Ramsay's Maze Grill.
P.S. for all you "Royals" out there, the Palace one more time
