26/05/09
Finally in London but I was so exhausted that that I spend my first day in Europe having a midday nap at my youngest brothers Tony’s flat and did not venture out.
The next day was a late start and we just dipped down to Piccadilly for some tourist info and a quick walk through to Coventry Court passing Trafalgar Square and into Chinatown and wrapped up by a visit to the British Museum.

28/05/09
Nice day so caught the tube to Hyde Park Corner and walked through all the tourist spots like various memorials (including a NZ one), Buckingham Palace, Downing St, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, etc till Westminster where I caught the tube just before the afternoon peak starts.

29/05/09 Southbank
Today tackled the Southbank trail starting from Westminister where I had left off the day before and continuing along till Cannon St. A detour was required to view St Paul and to cross the Millennium Bridge in what was a glorious summers day! The pictures speak for themselves about the major sights on either bank of the Thames River.

30/05/09 Trooping the Colour
Trooping the Colour first rehearsal was on today so went to enjoy it with the relative sparse crowd; I am guessing it will be at least 10 fold more on the actual day. Afterwards met up with Tony and Loz to go to Harrods at Knightsbridge, with the day still perfect we went to Hyde Park where all Londoners go to when nice weather. I joined the friendly family atmosphere in and around Princess Diana’s memorial pool and had a lazy stroll around The Serpentine. Sideswipe, we saw a Bugetti Veyron on the street while walking back to catch the tube home…what GFC!!

31/05/09 Richmond Park
Another glorious sunshine day, where is the crappy English weather that people always go on about? We made our way to Richmond Park for a bike ride around the perimeter and a well deserved ice cream at the end.
