Arrival in London!

Landed this morning after a very looong flight from Singapore.  Made it through customs, found the right trains, found the right hotel - ahhh..... All settled!  Waiting for Kez and Dave to arrive!
Went for a wander in the lovely afternoon sunshine - found a place called Regents Park.

The Regent's Park is the largest grass area for sports in Central London and offers a wide variety of activities, as well as an Open Air Theatre, the London Zoo and many cafes and restaurants.

Henry VIII appropriated The Regent's Park for use as a hunting ground, which he considered to be an invigorating ride from Whitehall Palace. At that time, the only boundaries were a ditch and a rampart. Were he here today, Henry would hardly recognise the stylish gardens and sports fields that now stand in its place.

Lots and lots of people wandering around - then we realised it is the 'Taste of London - Best Restaurant' festival! Dave liked the colours of the flowers in the garden (violas?) and so took a photo - only then did we realise the pattern! (must have jet lag still.....)  :-)
