Day 2, weather still appalling

After being lost for 3 hours after getting a bus which
took us in quite the wrong direction, we found
something familiar.















Big Ben as the bell tolled, hopefully not for us.
















A friendly local just near Churchill's war room.
We didn't mention the war.






















Mirror, mirror on the grass, which of us has the
fairest bottom - Hyde Park















Arch by the Serpentine in Hyde Park















Princess Diana Memorial in Hyde Park


















Met Claire and John for lunch at a local pub where
the staff didn't speak English but Spanish. Good pies
though.

Trip to England and France October, 2010. Day 1

Sunset over Darwin. Just after first glass of Qantas
 red. No sleep yet. 15 hours to go.
















Paddington Station. Looks like something out of a
40's movie.















Peter on the topless bus going past Hyde Park.
This is just before you get to the  Monopoly Board
part.















A streetscape, Oxford Street we think.














A ship in a bottle! Victory perhaps.
