London Take Two

Ok so we didn't have a great plan for this afternoon but we knew we wanted to have a look at Trafalgar Square & St Paul's. To do this we had to use the Tube :) which we didn't do last time we were in town but given our recent train experience the Tube was no worries.

We had a quick wander around Trafalgar & also did a quick stroll around the National Gallery (unfortunately quite a few areas were closed off due to a strike).

We hopped backed on the tube and made our way to St Peter's were we got some great shots (using the great afternoon sun again). Sad to say we really should have visited here on our first trip ... on our first drive by we thought it looked great but we think now that we have seen the Vatican it just didn't look as impressive. But that said... it is still a very beautiful church.

We then took a stroll over the Millennium Bridge (not too wobbly today) and once on the other side realised we needed to walk back because there aren't any Tube stations near by on the other side. So we walked back - got on a tube & headed back to the hotel.

We then found some dinner in a pub ... interesting choice of venue given that England was playing soccer tonight. Lucky for us - they won!!

And now we get ready for bed... tomorrow is a very big day - Madame Tussaud's, Cabinet War Rooms & Imperial War Museum.

No doubt we will have a blog update tomorrow

Night all
