London 25th April 2009

Well for us this was definately and eye opener, today Graham + some help from very helpful strangers mastered the tube across 3 zones, 3 changes of trains to get to the new Sheppards Bush Westfield Shopping Centre (as you all know not his favourite pass time) but he actually purchased a pair of trousers himself while I went searching! We think Chermside is huge, not compared to this, it is absolutely massive. Ended our day with a delicious dinner at an Italian Restaurant just down from b&b.

London 24th April 2009

Another good flight, neither of us can quite believe just how good it has been, Graham a little stiff today though. After arriving at the B&B and settling in we caught a double decker red bus into central London, went walking, walking & more walking. We went into Westminster Abbey, saw Sloane Square, found a local travel agent for some brochures, managed to find our way back to catch bus 319, had a couple of beers just down from where we are staying. Now Graham is sound asleep and I won't be far behind him. Who knows what tomorrow will bring!!

We have just returned from a visit to the Singapore Botanic Gardens, spectacular 160 acres, which we saw a smidgen of. Our flight over was very good, actually went quite quick. It is very hot & humid here, fortunately Angie's beautiful home is air conditioned. This afternoon we are off shopping!! which Graham is coping with quite well.
We also visited the museum of the Raffles Hotel which is an iconic building here which has been beautifully restored. Dinner was at PS Cafe which was beautiful, before the 13.5 hr. flight to London. We are being very spoilt here with Angie.
