Last day in London...


So here we are… the last day in London. Oddly, we’re hiding out in the hotel. Why? Cause it's freaking warm today. I packed clothes for the freezing aeroplane (Brit speak) and I don’t want to soil them with sweat. I’ll be living in these for the next 24 hrs. Let’s not offend people on board with BO! Just saying….

Yesterday we took to the town to do a few last things. Banqueting House  ( RHP) was on our list. Whitehall, here we come. It’s so good to see and enjoy the beautiful design of the city.

And there was the Foodie Fest across the street at Battersea Park to attend. Vendors of cookware, new and old food and drink, gadgets and food stalls all awaited the crowds pouring in to enjoy the sunny day in the park.

Really???

Yes please!

Hubby's on board with this one, literally

yes it really does exist

bloody good. we got some!

We also went for drinks with Mike & Sophie, then back to Kensington for drinks with the McCracken’s.  The night got later and later, and not having more than a yogurt  for lunch, I was famished. So stopping at our favorite and only local kabab shop, we gorged on Sheesh kabab and chicken doner. A fitting last dinner in London – street food.
