Our flight was not due to depart until 9.30pm so brother Richard generously delivered us to Heathrow to drop our bags and then drove us into central London to spend the day. Dropped off outside the Tate British Art Museum and spent an enthralling afternoon tripping through the Turner, Constable and Moore galleries, as well as the decades of British art. Thought provoking and enjoyable.
Our next goal was to walk several miles across town to Paddington Station to catch the Heathrow Express back to the airport. On the way we took in the Thames, Big Ben, St James Park, Buckingham Palace, the New Zealand War Memorial and Hyde Park. Stunning summers day - a fabulous touristy thing to do and the best way to fill in the afternoon before our 25 hours of flying back to Aotearoa.
Having time with my brothers and their families has been a real highlight of our 6 weeks away. Looking forward to the next visit already.
