Return to Day 1 - Buckingham Palace & Houses of Parliament

Next morning we had a tour of the Houses of Parliament - entering both the Commons and the Lords.

Westminster Hall and the end of the road for taking photos...

One of the impressive stained glass windows in the hall...

Miche taken just outside Westminster Hall...

Portcullis House, London Eye & Elizabeth Tower/Big Ben...

Classic view...

Like a Hollywood film scene's dummies guide to identifying that you're in London - Big Ben - check; London Bus - check; London Cab - check; just missing the bright red pillar box and a traditional bobby...

Peeking through at the PM's house...

Plebgate 2 begins to unfold...

Monument in Whitehall...

Miche in Trafalgar Square...

Miche and a huge blue cock...

"Hahn" by Katharina Fritsch - in place from 25th July...

London Zoo

We were at the zoo for an evening talk on the Galapagos Tortoise by Mark Haddon and other ZSL speakers - It was a good evening, Mark Haddon was unnecessarily literary in his approach. Sebastian the keeper had far more passion for the actual subject.

Komodo Dragon...

Dirk the 73 year old male...

Dirk and Sebastian one of his keepers...

Post-tickle stretch...

One of the ladies taking a bath - not sure if it's Delores or Dolly...
