India and the Tower of London

I went to the British Library and Maree went to look at jewels and prisons - a great combination I would think.

Maree didn't have her photo taken with these two - such a shame!

Looking across to the Tower of London

Buck Palace

Well we have now done the first real tourist thing in London and headed to Buckingham Place as did hundreds of others. A lovely day all up.

I think that a pattern is emerging here - Maree and policemen. These obliging bobbies were outside Buck Palace.

The notice board announcing the birth of the new princess just inside the gates of Buckingham Palace

Now in London

It is cold, cold, cold here in London. Who would think that summer is almost here? I hope it improves anyway. Many thanks for the comments.

No stay in London would be complete without a shot of a double decker and this was a wedding bus to boot!

Maree found this pub near the British Library - those O'Neills do get around but notice that alcohol is still involved

Still wet!!

Some photos from our excursion to the Invalides yesterday.

Maree with the éclairs -  yummy!

Napoleon's tomb in the Invalides

This dog had a jacket on which read HOT on one side and DOG on the other

A wet day in Paris!

"Today is quite wet and miserable. We haven't ventured out yet but I imagine it will be quite cold. The France page has more info on yesterday's doings.

The Arc de Triomphe

The gates leading into Parc Monceau - there are at least 3 of these spread along the park

This is the auction house we strolled into - a beautiful house with gardens at the back

More churches!

Yesterday was a very cold day though it was fine. Today is not so great and looks to be quite cold again. Have been to a few new places over the last couple of days.

Rainy weather in Paris

A wet day today but we managed to see two of the most important sights - the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre.
