London Day Five

Today we set off out of town to visit a friend. We kind of lost touch with her of late. But we knew her address, having once looked after her cat while she was away.

A pleasant hour’s train trip, then quite a long walk to the house. Fortunately, she was in, and we had a lovely catch up. Which is why we completely missed the city flyover for the Trooping the Colour.

We then came back in to Waterloo, and, looking at the map, Covent Garden didn’t look far at all to walk. Just over the Waterloo Bridge and along a bit. Quite a bit…

Covent Garden, on a Saturday afternoon was even busier than normal, of course, so it was just a fairly brief visit. But using the ‘City Mapper’ app, we found a bus back home.

Thoughts of popping over to the cocktail bar in the St Pancras Hotel were dismissed in favour of a relaxing evening.

12,735 steps! AND I have a sore toe.
