London

We are now in London.  Cant believe how hot it is.  The first day it was about 28 degrees and yesterday the temp soared to 32 degrees.

On our first day we just walked and walked and visited shops and arcades.  We went into Fortnum and Mason and wandered along the Burlington Arcade which is a covered arcade with uniformed attendants at each end and containing very high end fashion shops, but it is the architecture of the building and the uniformed attendants that bought us here.



 

When the temperature reached 32 degrees we headed to the water and took a leisurely boat trip along the Thames.  We got off the boat at Tower Bridge and found a lovely pop up café beside Tower Bridge.


It had false green green grass, deck chairs and brightly coloured tables and chairs scattered around and there was a silver caravan and combi van with a lift up roof serving food and drink and there was a bar serving beer and pimms.
We had a light lunch and drinks and sat in the shade people watching.  It was very pleasant.
