Wednesday 22 Aug 2018 – London

The day was overcast and cool, but no rain – a great day for a guided Fat Tire Bike tour of London royal spots. We avoided much road travel by using bike paths through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park stopping at places like Kensington Palace (William and Harry’s residences are there), Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abby, Parliament and Big Ben which was totally obscured for repairs by scaffolding. Although it was a 4 -hour tour we covered all these sights in what would take less than a half hour by road bike – there is plenty of sightseeing in London in a small area.

In the afternoon we caught up with an old friend and biking buddy of mine from Singapore – Jenny Mussett. She came in from Reading where she now lives and teaches preschoolers for drinks and dinner near our flat. It was nice reminiscing and getting her insight on current affairs from a British viewpoint.
