Sunday July 7 Tony and Mary walk to the V & A

Once again we woke to sunny warm weather.  Tony had never been to the Victoria and Albert Museum so we chose that as our destination. I mapped out a route, but told Tony if he saw something he wanted to explore we could do that too. He definitely took me up on that offer.

We headed west and passed St Paul’s Cathedral which chimed as we walked by.

At Buckingham Palace we saw the changing of the guard.

We continued through Green Park to Knightsbridge and walked along the Brompton Road with its shops. This is Tony’s idea of a hell realm….maybe only fourth level, but he took us off route. We walked through some rather posh areas.

At the V & A we enjoyed walking through some of the exhibit rooms, but our feet and bodies want to sit down at the cafe. It was lovely.

Quickish walk through, Tony hustling me rapidly through the gift shop, and out the door.

Once again, Tony took us on new routes which took us back to Buckingham Palace, down the Pall Mall, through Trafalgar Square. We headed south toward the Thames looking for a bit of a breeze and out of traffic.
