London, England

Today is the start of our trip around London on the Big Bus Company, but not before Tim cooks up a storm for breakfast. We decide to stay on the bus for most things, just because of the time factor. We can come back to the things we really want to see later.

The bus started from Paddington Station, went past the London Planetarium and Madame Tussaud’s before heading down south past Marble Arch, Park Land and then west to Kensington Gardens. We got off here and walked through to Kensington Palace (home of Princess Diana) and then walked back to the stop via Royal Albert Hall.

Back on the bus to Marble Arch to join the red route. The next stop was Trafalgar Square, via Piccadilly Circus, where we got off and had a look around and walked down past Whitehall to 10 Downing Street (home of the Prime Minister).

Back on the bus past Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. From there we went South west to Buckingham Palace, where, of course, we got off and had a look around.

We went back to Piccadilly Circus and caught the bus back to the Mansions for dinner.

After dinner we caught the tube to Hammersmith with Kern, Beck and Hayley, an adopted Mansions member and local bartender. We met up with a few of their friends, Nobbsy, Sarah & Pete, at Wetherspoons. Also, there were Hayley’s friends Megan from New Zealand, Andy from Oz, and Shane from Canada. A good night in a great pub ended with us catching the last tube home.
