Thursday 29th September 2016
Weather today is expected a cooler 18° and rain this morning.
We had breakfast at 8:30am and then set off for another day of sight seeing.
Left the hotel and walked to Paddington Station to buy tickets to Liverpool for Saturday morning. Also got tickets to Dover for tomorrow to see Dover Castle. While we were there we found Paddington Bear and bought a Paddington Bear for Zac. Also did some shopping in Oxford Street.
Back on the tube to Green Park to look for Lynne’s British Bull Dog Walking stick in Jermyn Street. Unfortunately there weren’t any. Had lunch in the Richou Café again then walked to down to see St James Palace, which was built by Henry VIII and used, as the Royal Palace until Buckingham Palace became the Royal Residence in London. Also got a fleeting glimpse Clarence House where the Queen Mother lived. Prince Charles and Camilla now live there.
We have walked 5.5klm’s so far today so it was time to head back to the hotel to rest our feet and have a well earned cuppa.

The plan is to go to the Mitre Pub just round the corner from the hotel for dinner. They serve great food and have some great dark beers.
