We had the day in London as our flight was only at 9:30pm.
After packing up and leaving our bags at the hotel, we took the tube to the Natural History Museum, always a favourits of ours. Unfortunately, not today, the Museum was a dog show. They were doing renovations, it was the first day of school holidays and usually it is winter, not a blistering summers day and no air con in the Museum. After doing some of the Darwin section, my friend Al would have loved the botanical drawings, we went to the dinosaur hall. Big mistake, dinosaurs are every 5 year olds dream and we could hardly move. Hot and bothered we found the closest exit and took the tube back.
Not wanting to stray too far, we chilled in Green Park and watched families and corporate people enjoying their lunch time picnics.
Our last afternoon and Gray treated me to High Tea at the Park Lane. I’m sure he would have preferred a beer at the pub but we had a delightful time.
Another easy airport book in, a few hours in the lounge, boarded the plane at sunset and a pleasant overnight flight home.
