Oh my goodness - our final week - where has the time gone - As the song says
"Let me take you by the hand & lead you through the streets of London - I'll show you something that'll make you change your mind"
Rob organised a 2 bedroom apartment in Islington - very handy to London - so off we set with map in hand for a week of walking.
Cliff liked the fact there were still phone boxes for those who refuse to live in the modern world of mobile phones.
On the banks of the Thames - I imagine this will be the closest I will ever get to Egypt
Gothic architecture of the Houses of Parliament, very impressive
Where modern meets old - We found a great little bar directly under the Tower Bridge with views of the unusual modern architecture of London
Tower Bridge was extremely pretty
But very crowded
Buckingham Palace - we didn't see the Queens guards but there were plenty of police with big guns
No folks - we didn't actually go to Wimbledon but we did get to walk through the entrance to take some photos
West End - Rob booked tickets for Les Miserables - what can I say - the performance so very moving - Rob & I shed a tear or two - I'm sure I caught a glimpse of Cliff wiping his eye.
Time to stroll to Camden Markets & Little Venice, we walked along canals lined with beautiful barges. A very relaxing way to spend our day.
Off to Borough food markets - where else can you wander drinking Pimms & Sangria while checking out incredible food stalls.
Our final night at a Japanese restaurant
For Cliff & I, the Sea Princess check-in took no more than 15 minutes
To Rob & Doug - we want to say thank you for making our holiday so memorable - you showed us places we would never have seen & we appreciate all Robs hard work for booking wonderful accommodation in beautiful villages
Cheers to all who have followed our blog so far - Farewell to our land leg & here's to another 53 days of sailing - Stay tuned.
