London - May 8, 2015

May 8, 2015

We slept until almost 9am. We walked over to our new hotel (Radisson Blu Edwardian Hampshire). This hotel is in Leicester Square and central to everything. It was a great old hotel with cool rooms, but still very modern.

We walked over to the National Portrait Gallery and did some shopping in the gift shop. Found some great stuff. 

Then we walked into Trafalgar Square. There was alot going on - many mimes and people dressed up in costumes. We saw a witch, a couple of Star Wars characters and a guy playing bagpipes.



We walked over to Buckinham Palace and saw a band and some soldiers walking out. We also watched as the Prime Minister (David Cameron) drove in to see the Queen. It was voting day the day before and the new government was determined.








We walked over to Westminster Abbey and stopped for sandwiches at EAT on the way. We ate them outside across the street from Westminster. Beautiful day to be outside.


Eating lunch

We spent a couple hours at Westminster. Very interesting.




On the way back to the hotel we saw Big Ben and stopped for an ice cream cone.



We ate dinner at Al Padrino just down from our hotel.

We went back to the hotel and got ready to go see Wicked at the Apollo Victoria Theater. It was a great show.
