Isobel had plans! Great plans!
About and hour and half after arriving we set off for the city on foot from Pimlico.
On the way we passed New Scotland Yard and skirted Whitehall, going via the edge of St James Park and arriving directly into Trafalgar Square. We briefly joined the many enjoying the pleasant summer evening, watching kids climb and slide on the lions. But it was dinner time and we headed for a favourite Chinese nearby.
After dinner we wandered about a little enjoying the city lights before boarding a bus at Charing Cross Road and then deciding quite soon after, that we would walk instead. This time we came back through Whitehall, past the Westminster Palace (Parliament) & Big Ben and along Millbank . We strolled out onto Lambeth Bridge to admire the lights on the Thames and then home for a well earned rest. I think their aim was to keep me awake as long as possible and wear me out so I would sleep at the right time and adjust. It worked darn well and was a wonderful introduction to London. Thanks kids!
