London pub crawl....

We finished off the day with a walking tour of London Pubs and ghost stories. Started at 6 and we have just got home11.30pm. Great night, some amazingly interesting pubs ... don't believe the ghost stories. We really did finish the tour about 9.30-10.00pm ... and being country bumpikns ... unused to London tubes .... he made sure we were settled in to the right train and knew which station to get off. Found a great place for dinner to finish off the night in style. There are LOTS of great places in our neighbourhood, so it's not hard.

Today was overcast and cold so we did the Hop-on Hop-off bus ride, and boat ride on the Thames. Great timing. Spent a little time in Harrods, but only bought an ice-cream sundae!!! Interesting experience ... Harrods and the ice cream.

Struggling to download any photos at the moment. Great to be back with English keyboards .... but computers at this place are so locked down ... can't do anything!!! Have to solce that problem tomorrow. Only 1 day left in London. So much to see, and Lex would love to go back and visit some of the hidden pubs we visited tonight.

BTW .. found the Lady Daphne yesterday. For those of you on Google Earth, look in the Katharine Docks ....canal-like areas near Tower bridge. What a surprise. Not the canal area ... Lex went looking for it as he's seen it on GE. Have found some caches in London ... mostly very small micro caches, so no swaps.

Cheers
