Day 2

 It was the hottest day of my life.  And yes Helene, hottest than Rome !!  But, you know me, it didn't stop me and my happy travelers to wander around London.

As we were waiting for Phi and Horia we went for a balad in Battersea Park.  This park is just in front our flat accross the Thames.  We stolled in the park on the shade paths.  It was a very calm and pleasant moment.  We had a lot of fun watching the dogs cool off in the large fountain. 

Phi and Horia arrived around 13h30 and as they were willing to go, we went for the Royal tour.  So we saw, St-James-Park, Burckingham Palace, The Mall,  and Trafalgar Square.  We crossed the river by the Jubilee bridge to see Big ben and the London Eye.  We walked on the south path to Westminster bridge, where we can have a gorgious view of the Parliament.  On our way, Phi and Renée could'nt resist of the ice cream truck.  I was only able to drink water and I drank a lot.  After crossing the bridge, we splited.  Phi and Horia when to Hard Rock Coffee and we came back home to rest and supper.  We were lucky enough to have a climated tube!  It was very appreciated.  You can believe us, the cold glass of rosé was pretty good after such a hot day!  Even on the heatwave we managed to walks 21,556 steps.  It feeled like the double tho.
