Our first day of "summer'

It all started at 4:30am. Ayden was all geared up for Legoland and Jack wanted to shop his heart out. But we managed to keep them occupied till till at least 8:30 to go jalan-jalan. First stop, an underground ride just to take us anywhere...




We tried the Diana Memorial Gardens but it was not open till 10am (?!?!) so we walked on. Plenty of cards outside Kensington Palace for Diana's recent birthday.


A bus ride on to Picadilly- only 2 hours and boy we are enjoying our oyster cards already! On to horse guards.



And we stayed for ten minutes just watching these horses standing still and we had to move on. The plan was to walk down to Westminster Abbey but we stopped at the Cenotaph instead for a wreath laying ceremony by Belgian veterans - more pictures later.



And then on to a big catch up with Mr. and Mrs. Hayes over a lovely Lebanese lunch. Thank you Bani and Sam for a lovely afternoon and letting our kids climb your walls!
