Last laundry in London. Set up for Singapore. Tina is even looking forward to her washing machine!
Another hot day, especially the afternoon.
We set off ia early via Tube for Madame Tussauds. I wasn't really interested but I am glad I went. Very impressive especially at the end when there is a cab "ride" though displays called The Spirit Of London. Just as well we went early as there was a queue when we arrived and they opened the door a half hour earlier than their pamphlet said.
We then head back via Tube. Tina goes back to hotel for a relax and to watch the tennis whilst I meet Keith. We make our way to Covent Garden. What a fun place! I thought we were going to some park but the markets, restaurants and street performers gave the area a vibrancy and it was packed. I bought 3 hand painted ties!We saw some excellent street performers. Keith and I walked along the Thames and then made our way back to Victoria for Keith to catch his train to the south coast.
Tina and I go to an Indian restaurant (Millbank Spice) for dinner.
