Well, it feels like we've been everywhere today - we've knocked off half a Monopoly board already (Pall Mall, Whitehall, Northumberland Ave, the Strand, Trafalgar Square (amazing!), Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, Oxford and Regent Sts. In Regent St, we found Hamleys Toy Store - it was huge with so many different things that aren’t available in NZ, especially remote controlled toys and board games. Staff were demonstrating lots of the toys, and it was difficult to drag my little boy away!
We’ve mastered the Underground, there are two stations only a few minutes walk away.
Last on today’s list was the National Art Gallery - it was packed with people, and very vast. We recognised the names of some of the artists and the age of some of the works was phenomenal.
Struck quite a bit of rain today, but it’s not too cold, so all things considered, it could be worse.
Overall impressions? I am blown away by the number of people we are seeing wherever we go, and by the cultural diversity of the place. Roll on tomorrow!

Dear Sue and Allan sorry about the short message first had to try it out as Don has taken nearly 2 days to get on. Your trip sounds great and I am remembering where I had been when there so long ago. Don is going North tomorrow for a week or so,so will get Marie to read updates from her. I will try to text you while he is away so I can keep in touch. Don't forget to rest occasionally. It's cool today with a promise of rain later.Love Mum and Don.
Wow you must have had a seriously long day!!! Can't believe how much you got done!!!!
