The Third Day in London

Owing to our late night and early morning wanderings, we did not awaken until well after noon, and we headed out for a late lunch. Unlike the previous two days which had been dry, today was damp, so we did not go far. We stumbled across a fantastic restaurant, Bella Italiano, and had our fill of carbohydrates.

After the late lunch, we strolled along the Thames briefly, taking in the site of the London Eye, Parliament, and Big Ben. The drizzle was just perfect, adding a very memorable feel to the walk, but not so bad that we got terribly wet. Even though it was barely 4:30, darkness had prevailed, adding even more to the memory of that stroll.

We wound up taking a dinner in The Wellington, sharing a very large Fish and Chips along with Sea Bass. It really was perfect in that the upstairs restaurant portion was only about a quarter full, making it a perfect last dinner for us.

As our final event in London, I took Melba by the Strand Hotel where we had a drink in The Mask Bar, another of the more memorable haunting places from my previous trips. Then, all too quickly, our third day drew to a close, and we retired for our last night in the suite.
