At 0600, it’s 50 and overcast. Following breakfast, baggage call is for 0745, with assembly at 0900. Though the bellman were to take only the bags by the door, they took the duffle bag as well and Caroline had to retrieve it. We boarded our tour bus for the next three days and headed for Westminster Abbey, with Steve as our guide. Our driver dropped us off at the Abbey and we walked over to Parliament Park for pictures. We then walked back to Westminster Abbey and Steve took us on a comprehensive tour. We walked through St. James Park and over to Buckingham Palace. We returned to the bus to Harrod’s Department store and then to Foxhills Country Club. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
