Today has been spent exploring London with the ever lovely Mr Ellis, and my Dad.
Sam and I went to meet my Dad at Victoria and from there we started out tourist adventure! We first walked along to Buckingham Palace where unfortunately the Queen was busy so she couldn't invite us in for a cup of tea...Next time though!
Then we took a little wonder through St. James's Park, past Big Ben (That clock is bloody big I'll give it that...Not much else to report on that really...Oh and it also tells the time...Marvellous!) then our walk took us to the river and along the South Bank where we spotted the London Eye (It wasn't hard, like Big Ben it's pretty dam big!) and onto Yo Sushi for lunch...YUM!
After lunch and nursing full bellies it was off for a quick wonder through the South Bank Food Market and onto a lovely pub called the Camel and Artichoke where we sat it the beer garden, soaked up some summer sun, read the paper, and had a much needed drink.
Next up was a much needed ice cream stop...Easier said than done...Sure London has plently of little vans and stalls selling Mr Whippy type ice cream, but all costing the price of a small car! This part of our expedition definitely took longer than the rest, but we wondered around taking in more of what London has to offer and I was feeling perfectly content. After finding a cheaper (But still VERY expensive ice cream) we started to wonder back the way we came, eventually ending up at Victoria train station again, where not ones to pass a pub and say no we went to Wetherspoons for a drink and chatted away what was left of the afternoon and early evening.
All too soon it was time to say those yucky goodbyes I hate so much and Sam and I went to get some dinner (I'm pretty sure we've eaten non stop all day...My excuse is we did lots of walking) then jumped on a train home again...
What a successful day's exploring!
