City girl as a London tourist?

Bright and early on Sunday morning, Richard's sister, Megan landed in London for a visit. I know Richard has been looking forward to the visit for a while and given that his family lives far far away, Megan was the first family member that I was to meet. In spite of an 11 hour flight, Megan arrived with far more energy than I could ever muster after such a journey, so after some breakfast we headed out to central London for some sightseeing.

Having arrived in Victoria, we managed to cover as many sights as possible in one very long walk which included Buckingham Palace, St James' Park, Whitehall, Big Ben(jamin) (as I like to call it), Southbank and London Eye, Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square (and therefore M&M World, of course) and Piccadilly Circus. It proved to be quite a walk (and one that every tourist should try, given that you get to see so many attractions, all on foot and avoid the stuffy public transport) and we decided to get the train back up to Wimbledon, with very sore legs.

At Wimbledon, with a sugar hit from a Starbucks Frappucinno, we walked through Wimbledon Village taking in all the racket and tennis ball decorated shop and restaurant windows. I make no exaggeration when I say that with the exception of two art galleries, every window had something tennis related: it was quite the walk to get us in the Wimbledon spirit.

Once home, all we managed was dinner (some delicious chicken fajitas) and a glimpse of some World Cup football.

Having booked a couple of days off for Megan's visit, on Monday we didn't quite have the early start we planned but eventually got up and out of the house and headed out to Tower Bridge, walking around, grabbing some lunch. We soon headed back home (having bought a tent and a mattress) to set up camp at Wimbledon. A post on that, however will follow soon...

Happy Saturday, lovies!
