London - We left Wiltshire and drove 2 hours back to London where we had booked the Holiday Inn in Earls Court for 3 nights. We still had the car but used the tube to get around. We fitted in the Natural History Museum (with its dinosaur skeletons), the Victoria & Albert Museum, Harrods, Harvey Nicholls, Trafalgar Square, the National Art Gallery, Hyde Park, Green Park, St James Park and Buckingham Palace (outside only).
We also did two more London walks, a night time ghost walk with our Shakespeare trained guide bursting into song for us as we toured and a Mayfair walk taking in how the other half live in London. Indeed we saw places for rent in Mayfair for 4500GBP ($13,000 NZ) per WEEK! We also saw the UK memorial to 9/11 in Grosvenor Square and one of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants 'Maze' which we were pleased to see included NZ wine on the menu. We popped into the Ritz but Tim was informed he had to wear a tie just to enter the lobby and if we wanted afternoon tea it was 35GBP ($105 NZ) per person!
We had some lovely meals with our London based Kiwi friend Michael including a belated birthday cake (homemade) for me at his place.
And so ended part two of our trip as we flew out of Heathrow for Los Angeles.
