Today we had breakfast in the sky garden, 36 floors above Fenchurch Street in a building generally known as 'the walkie talkie'. Spectacular views, very yummy food, and a lovely sunny day to boot.
After this, we headed to Hyde Park and strolled all the way through to Kensington Palace, stopping to visit the Diana memorial and the Italian Gardens, and the Statue of Peter Pan along the way.
After this, Bernie, Kelly, and I went to see the dresses of Diana in the Palace along with the stately rooms of past kings and queens (Barry disappeared and met up with us later).
Uncle Pat, Aunty Doreen, Karen, Greg, Guy, Gail, Brett, Ricky, and Alison all came into town and met us for dinner at a restaurant (Strada) that had a stunning view of the Tower Bridge all lit up on the river Thames. It was a fabulous night with our lovely English family, and a lovely night weather wise too. We strolled along the embankment, and crossed the bridge before finally making our way back to Peckham where we are staying.
