Day 4 and 5 in London

Yes we are back again - time to download more photos from the last couple of days. Yesterday we spent the day at Hyde Park which is where Kensington Palace is situated. We had lunch at the Princess Diana shrine waterfall which was really nice and HOORAY the sun was shining and it was a nice day! So we spend the morning walking around the park and then in the afternoon went to the palace - not quite as extravagant as the others we have seen but still nice. They have a special memorial to Princess Di there of never before seen photos and we spend a bit of time there which was nice too.
After walking around the park for most of the day (its a pretty big park!!!) we wandered the streets in search of Harrods - after getting lost and ending up down who knows where i decided to ask directions and we were back on track! And what a shopping centre! Massive!! So then spend an hour or so wandering through wishing we were rich and buying designer labels haha maybe one day we will come back when we strike it rich! ;-)

After Harrods we jumped back on the underground (what a great thing that is!!) and went to NOtting HIll. I was really looking forward to coming to the 'famous' place but was disappointed...wasnt at all like I expected and was dirty and scruffy. We wandered down Portobello Road Markets as well and was told by a guy that the blue door from the movie is no longer there and was sold to some guy who owned a boat...so fair enough - travelled all the way here to see and its gone!!! We had tea in some restaurant and then went back to the hotel for some much needed rest and gave our poor feet some rest!!

Today was the day Scott has been looking forward to - we went on a tour of Lords Cricket Ground (yawn for us girls!!) Scott thought it was awesome and he was in awe of it all but didnt really do much for me though! The tour took 2 hours and we went to the famous Long Room and then in the Media Centre and finished in the museum and had photos with the ole Ashes. And now here we are on the internet downloading photos and then we will be meeting our contiki group before boarding the bus at 7am tomorrow morning and off we go to Paris! So not sure when the next blog will be but stay tuned!!
