Notting Hill and the National Gallery

Our second day in London was at a very easy pace.
In the morning we walked to Portobello Road markets at Notting Hill. (You know the movie). Wonderful experience especially the World Travel Bookshop.

Then in the afternoon we went into Piccadilly Circus and the National Gallery. The two major exhibitions primarily from the Nation Gallery collection were 'Manet to Picasso' http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/collection/features/manettopicasso/default.htm and
'Cezanne in Britain' http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/exhibitions/cezanne/default.htm. They were wonderful. Karen had to pinch herself when she saw some of the works. We also had a look a few other works we had seen before. e.g. The Witon Dypitch and the The Arnolfini Portrait.

Our First Day in London

Our first day in London started at 6:30 at the airport after 22 hours on a plane. The rain or sleet fell all day while we had a look at London on the BIG BUS and then walked through Hyde Park back to our hotel a block from Paddington station and a block from Hyde Park. We had forgotten the incredible amount of history in London. The bus tour lasted for about two and a half hours and way the best reintroduction to London. Karen crashed at about 4pm and I went down to one of the local PUBS for a few drinks with the locals. I the crashed and we both slept for about 12 hours.

Fenoglio Travel

We arrived at Ghangi (Singapore)a little weary. Good flight and great movies. We have spent the Singapore dollars which our dear friend Sue gave us at Brizzie airport. This is a lovely clean airport and very easy to navigate, except it's the size of Southbank in Brizzie. Very happy - they make coffee on soy and the internet is free!
Will write again when we arrive in London.
