Moving on after visiting Westminster Cathedral, we walked to another beautiful church, Westminster Abbey, having a good look at the outside but having to leave the inside for the next England adventure. Unhappily but without time to fully enjoy it. A good excuse to return! We passed by the great Big Ben and Houses of Parliament and crossed over Westminster Bridge to walk along the South Bank and then later return to the other side by the Lambeth Bridge. Then dinner and back to the hotel. A pretty full first day after staying awake almost the entire night on the plane. Who can sleep in a little seat on a plane??

:-] How thoughtful!! I didn't think of that!
DeleteI agree and there is regret of not going sooner!
I'm happy to have recent visits to two great places - the UK and France! I'm so lucky.
Did not you like Italy too ???
DeleteOh yes, Italie!.....I love those Tuscan villages and Rome!

When I was 18, my parents sent me on the tour with some college students and we went to Venice, Florence, Pompeii and Rome plus 12 other countries in one month's time! Again, lucky me.
