| Started the day by heading over the the London Eye, the huge Ferris wheel, but we decided it was too foggy and would try again, So we decided to catch the sit and stare double Decker bus. This wasn’t a bad deal it was 4 or 5 bus routes and a boat ride up the river. You could get on and off when you liked and there was either a headphone commentary or if you were really lucky there was some Muppet or geezer who told you what you were looking at in a ‘hilarious’ ye old tales. It was a bit of fun. |

We got off for lunch and down to the Had and Racket for a few pints of lager and a pie and chips, pretty damm good too!
We went for a bit of a walk around the area before returning to the bus and ended up at a computer swap meet at the Middlesex hospital, just the same as ours, and like ours full of smelly computer nerds. Then it was back on the bus to see some more sights of London. The guy giving the commentary this afternoon was a bit of fun and he showed us some interesting things. We passed another protest near Hyde park this time a heap of chanting Muslims (maybe about 1000 of them) with there shirts off and thumping their chests until they were red raw carrying on about Tony %$*ing Blair. |

| We took the bus trip again and ended up near the Tower of London so we jumped off and took our boat ride which took us back to near the London Eye so we thought back to the hotel for a quick refresh- and a jumper it was starting to get a bit cold. |

| We took the tube down the western side of the city towards Kensington and Knightsbridge, we didn’t get to do this area on the bus because we ran out of time. We found a local and had diner with a few pints before walking back into the city taking in some of the sights and pubs along the way. |
