Today was spent seeing the sights considered close to our hotel. We still walked 3 or 4 miles around the city. Our first stop was the Royal Mews adjacent to Buckingham Palace. This is where the queens horses and carriages are kept. It was a very interesting tour. Most of the horses were traveling with the Queen. The highlight was the gold covered, 250 year old carriage. It was built by George the IV in 1762.
We then made our way to Hyde Park. The park is beautiful. Sherri and I rented bikes and rode its length. This brought us to Kensington Palace. This palace was used by Princess Diana. We enjoyed the tour.
Back to the hotel for a short rest then out for dinner.
We took the tube to Downtown London to eat at Leadenhall Market. This market dates back to the 14th century. We ate at Pizza Express. The calzones were great.
Back on the tube to the hotel and to bed.
