London

We had Sunday to explore the city before Fred started his conference. We explored the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and the war museum. Also walked in the rain by Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace:



While Fred was in meetings, I took a self-guided walking tour / memory walk - there was a waterfall in Regeant's park (right by our hotel), the monument to the Great Fire, St Dunstan in the East Church Garden, Westminster Abbey in the daylight, a walk in memory of Princess Diana that went thru a number of parks, and Wellington Arch:


Then I returned to the hotel to meet up with Fred and join the crew on a guided walking tour - we took the tube down to the river and our tour guide showed us around the banks of the river and the Strand:


My last night there we went and saw the musical Six - about Henry VIII's wives, very fun, 1.5 hours, no intermission:
