Blue Badge guide, Colin, meets us for a walking tour of sites relating to Oscar Wilde. As you can see, he's quite an animated speaker. Like all good guides, he wanted full attention from his audience, so he was frowning quite a bit at the people in the back...
who happened to be some old friends who tracked down our group in London and we had a bit of a noisy reunion.
It rains a bit so the brollies come out
Staff break from kids as we seek lunch separately. We opt for Lebanese and I get this nice lamb shish wrap.
Next stop, Buckingham palace, with our iconic sites tour guide, Julie.
It's not the Changing of the Guard, but a relief of the sentries as one shift takes over the previous.
Julie gets us photo ops at Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament.
Last stop: Kensington Gardens, opposite the Royal Albert Hall. The temperature has taken quite a dip and the kids are freezing now. But it won't stop them from grabbing a few more scenic shots before departure.
The dome of the Royal Albert...
and his commemorative statue in gold directly opposite.
And a couple of rather congenial ducks bid us farewell.
Day 8 concludes at Heathrow Airport. We're comin' home!
