We hopped the underground and headed for Kennsington Palace near Hyde Park. This is the front of the Palace and a statue of Queen Victoria. We walked the Palace rooms and the gardens then hopped the underground again toward Westminster station.
Flat Ella just loved to see Big Ben. She just wouldn't have been to London without taking a look
There was a boat trip on the Thames that was available so..... off we went. This is the Tower bridge as I have never seen it before. The hour ride took us down river from Westminster to the Tower Bridge and back. It gave us a unusual perspective on London.
We rode past the Tower of London which has been a Royal residence, a prison and, most recently , home of the Crown Jewels.
One last view of Big Ben and the houses of Parliament and then off to a little shopping and back to the B&B.
Well, as Bugs Bunny says "That's all folks"
Hope this hasn't been too boring for you all. We've has a great time but I'm out of money and out of energy so it's time to head home. If all goes well we'll be home tomorrow evening and this will be a marvelous memory. So long from the British Isles.
