We have Farewelled the cruise staff with hugs and gratuities and also our new friends .Up at 6 this morning and transferred to London from Southampton quite easily. Dropped Daphne, Colin, Billy and Evey at Heathrow and we travelled onto Victoria station. Stowed our suitcases and took off to covent garden to look for dancing shoes. Was lovely to be in London and the weather was warming up nicely.
Decided after lunch to go visit the queen at Buckingham palace and it was bustling as the mall was closed off for a family cycle race.on the way there we nearly got scammed. A man approached and asked for directions to Kensington. Suddenly two big men surrounded us and asked what we were doing and wanted our ID. I produced our passports and they asked for us to show them our wallet. We thought they were undercover cops looking for illegal money changers. Colin's wallet is attached to his belt by a chain and he pulled it out to show them. Then I looked at their odd suits and said Colin don't show them. I asked for their ID and hey said never mind. When I asked again they left. On the walk back I saw them still hovering around. Lucky we didn't lose anything but had very little Sterling left anyway.
