Covent Garden, Harrods, Buckingham Palace.

Up and at them early- and whilst walking to catch bus we had to walk along Scotland Yard (opposite our hotel) we came across Police horses being loaded in truck for trip - police were very co operative and aslet me take a couple of photos. We then had short bus ride to Covent Gardens Market, quick coffee and nibble before we explored. Jubilee Market a little disappointing to say the least but shops at Covent Garden good. Listened to a Opera singer in one section, and in another a wip cracking Australia was seen entertaining the crowds.

Next a taxi ride to Harrods -omg the food hall. In the meat section noticed Australian Beef 195 pounds a kil. Unbelievable place and have lots of photos to show just how good it was. We managed to have a little lunch at Harrods. A whole floor was devoted to a Pet hall Unbelievable amount of beds, couches, toys etc all for the pet. Sorry Toshi, Wilbur, and Ned Nanny hasn't any room in the case!

I left Elizabeth and Shirley and I hired a cab to Buckingham Palace once again it is hard to imagine what the buildings are like - wandered around, then walked to St James Gardens and along to the Abbey.

Caught another taxi back home for the usual gin and tonic, and another nice meal from Paul and Joan before retiring for the night.
