Day 119: London
September 22: Slept in, very sunny day.
Saw the matinee performance of the new musical, "Mary Poppins" which was magical and worth every cent! It had singing, dancing, visual effects, audience sing-along and more. There were even new songs and scenes - similar to the movie (childhood favourite of mine), but also new interpretations of the book too. Would definitely see it again and recommend it to anyone who is a closet fan of the movie!
Then walked south to Charing Cross and Trafalgar Square (and Nelson´s Column), around the Horse Guard Museum, and through the glorious St James Park, Buckingham Palace and Gardens and Hyde Park. Saw a man walking his ferret, and even got up close with a squirrel and some ducks. Also walked down to Wellington Arch, Marble Arch and Oxford Circus.
Caught up with some family friends in the evening and had a nice dinner at Covent Garden (near the old flower market) at a French restaurant for a change.
Another warm, sunny day - nice to see!
