Saturday, June 2, 2018:
Mark and Paula
traveled about an hour to
London, from Maidenhead, by train and then tube (subway). They checked in at St. Ermin's Hotel, Autograph Collection. There is a story about this place to be told later. |
 |
|
The place is
elegantly appointed in the lobby and in the rooms. They charge accordingly. |
 |
 |
|
Lunch at the
Blue Boar in London
started with a pint of Fuller's London Pride British beer. That was followed up by English Steak and Eggs with fries. No dieting this day! |
 |
 |
|
Paula made
friends with a Royal Guard horse while a statue of Winston Churchill
looked on. |
 |
|
Artists
show their stuff on London streets. |
 |
|
A view in St. James Park with Buckingham Palace and the London Eye in
the background.
|
 |
 |
 |
|
St. James Park
is a peaceful place. |
 |
|
The Mall that
goes from Buckingham Palace to the northeast. |
 |
|
At the end of
The Mall is Trafalgar Square. More on that later. |
 |
|
Thousands of
visitors flock to Buckingham Palace each day. |
 |
 |
|
A Royal Guard
keeps watch over the Palace. |
Quote of the day:
London is a wonderful place. Mark
