Trip to England (Day4)


No shopping!

After a few days of extensive walking, my back/leg started to hurt. I had to take frequent rests to prevent the pain from developing into some serious condition. When exiting the National Gallery (which is free!), I was kind of exhausted, but mommy wanted to do some shopping. So we took the bus to an shopping area. I refused to go into the shops. I let mommy go and I stayed on the bench of the bus station. There was nobody else sitting on the bench, so I use it as an aparatus for stretching my legs this way and that way. It was a strange sight to the parsers-by, but it did do my legs some good. And I was ready to walk again when mommy came back from her shopping skirmishes.

Fish and Chips

The fish and chip in London is the best I've ever had. Big and tasty. One order as lunch for both of us. 5 pounds, Good deal. This gave us enough strength to visit the Tower of London, a huge castle.

Cruise on the Thames

From Tower Bridge, to Greenwich Village and finally to Westminster Bridge. Mainly to see all the bridges over the river. There are so many bridges!

Dinnder at Chinatown

Our last dinner in London was a good buffet in Chinatown. I overate a bit and had to walk a lot afterwards for disgestion. Now it started to rain. Rain was forecast for everyday when we were in London, but every day turned out to be a nice sunny day! Until our tour was over! Thanks to the Lord for having mercy on us!
