Jill and Peter took us on a trip to Knole at Sevenoaks which is a National Trust property that has acres and acres of land inc a golf course. Long walk then ploughman's lunch and back to London. Said goodbye and thanks for an unforgettable 44 hours.
Took bus to Covent Garden Travelodge. Had good reviews as an excellent budget place. Found ourselves on the 12th floor, kingsize bed, huge room, great view and hot water that even Robyn couldn't run out plus full breakfast. It was busy as the London Marathon was on today (37,000 runners) and many of them were staying here. Walk through Covent Garden and down to Trafalger Square. Lots of Olympic stuff everyehere. Went out for a nice quiet dinner where we opted for the fixed price/two course for 17 pounds each. We fought over who was having the calfs liver and when it arrived it was the biggest serve I had ever seen. My lamb shank was similar in size. Fantastic value.
Covent Garden-anyone for paella and Nelson's Column.
PS-These photos are courtesy of Robyn (that's while she is not in any). My freshly washed camera is very clean but useless. Buying a new one tomorrow. Future travelling tip-check that your compact camera is not in dirty clothes pile!!
