BRITISH ISLES #20 -- LONDON

Our last 4 days were in London, where we stayed at another lovely B & B in the elite Belgravia neighborhood, just 1/2 mile from Buckingham Palace.  We were within walking distance of many attractions, and we got real proficient at using The Tube (Underground/Subway) which made it real easy to explore the City.  We visited all the 'must-see' tourist attractions as well as many 'local' favorites. 

A surprise highlight was dinner with Granddaughter Rhia Batchelder, who was in London on business with her Manhattan law firm.  What a lovely, gracious, successful young woman -- I'm so very proud of her!

The historic old structures are always fascinating, but I was especially taken with the contrast with some of the most incredible modern architecture I've ever seen!

We took part of a day to ride a long boat from Little Venice to Camden Market.  Like RVers, many people live on their boats.  I consider the Market a 'must-see'!  Ya gotta eat 'street food', although the ethnic cuisine is everywhere at great prices.
