Day 2, Tuesday 24th May, London.

| Kensington Gardens, it's a lot colder than it looks. |
Arrived London about 5am (GMT), collected bags and got on Heathrow connect to Paddington, way to early to go to room, sat in Kensington Gardens and froze whilst Maritta went and found reception (on the other side of Paddington). She came back and we had to lug bags there to be looked after as room not available till 2pm. Note, gets light about 5am and sun isn’t setting till around 9pm. Hopped on the “Original Tour” all day bus for a tour of London visiting most of the sites (ran out of time for the Museum route).

Ticket included the boat trip to Greenwich so we did this as well, bit late at the Meridian but enough time to see most of it. Caught the boat back to Westminster but couldn’t find the tour bus so got an ordinary bus ticket for the trip back to Paddington .
