Exploring the City

Kate and I had quite the busy day today. We started off taking the Overground to Notting Hill. We wandered around the Portobello Rd Market. After that we head further into the city for lunch . We walked around Kensington Palace, Princess Diana's old house, and then through the Kensingtons Gardens. From there we followed Hyde Park to Buckingham Palace. Kate was amazed how much smaller it is in person.
Our next stop was Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and Big Ben....which Kate has now dubbed 'Little Ben.' After hitting the main hot spots, we used the tube to explore Covent Garden, Holborn, Chelsea and the West End. After a long day we stopped into a pub before heading back to Clapham Junction to meet up with Carissa and Matt.
The four of us went to dinner at a Lebanese restaurant that was amazing! It was very similiar to Greek food. After dinner we turned in early to prepare for our big tour in the morning.
