jour 24

It is a very windy day.  It is chilly too.  And today, Raymonde and Robert arrived.
There fligth was delay.  It was expected at 10h but only landed at 11h45.
Since leaving Montreal. it was a succession of imbroglios. Delay for the flight, change of boarding gate, wrong train from Gatwick, the bus driver who does not know the stop ...  Any way they finally arrived at 2h pm.  After a short break for lunch, we went for the royal tour that start at the parliament, St-James park with view on Buckingham palace, the Mall...  On our way we stop in the court of Horses Guards.
We followed our route to Trafalgar.  Stop at the Crypt.  We decided to visit BP Portrait at National Portrait Gallery.  The BP Portrait Award is the most prestigious annual portrait painting competition in the world with a first prize of £35,000.  The visitors can vote after the visit for their favorite portrait. 

Then, we cross Jubilee Bridge to walk on the south path to our bus stop.  Before coming back home, we stop at Sainsburys for pizza.  
It is now time to go to sleep for my new guests.
