The next morning we had a quick breakfast and headed off to Westminster Abbey as Alan hadn't been there in over 40 years. We dropped Alan off and planned to meet back up with him in two hours, as the three of us had all recently visited Westminster Abbey.

| Big Ben, big red busses, and the London Eye - what else do you need? |
While Alan was turing the Abbey, we took a walk around the embankment and snapped a few photos of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. It was a much warmer day than the day before so we strolled over to St. James Park and grabbed a cuppa before taking a nice, long walk around the park.

| Because one can never take too many photos of Big Ben! |
It was such a nice day, we ambled around the little lake and did some bird watching. It always surprises me when, in a big city, an oasis of calm, beauty, and nature can be tucked right inside, like the best part of a jelly dounut.

At the appointed time we met up with Alan, and made our way to the nearby underground bunker that housed Winston Churchill's WWII War Rooms.
More on that experience in the next post!
