the last

saturday morning and we are off for our last full day in london...a stop at the shopping center ip the street  finds us in the middle of a saturday food market...YUM!!!
after a little shopping and drooling, we are off...it is a beautiful day...the sun is out and the temp is in the upper 50s...to hyde park and kensington palace we go...

 we used the tube for most travel during the week...really handy and very user friendly!
 hyde park was full of people...it was the first warm day of the trip and the city was out enjoying it...people everywhere...
 we stopped at kensington palace...the yards/gardens were beginning to bloom a few more weeks and the gardens will be in full bloom...
 foregoing the classic foot shot for a shadow shot...
 this kid was soooooo cute...a little imp of a girl...barely a pre-toddler actually...cruising the grounds of kensington palace...too cute...
 we stopped to enjoy the sun and do a little people watching...the classic long armed self portrait...
then we took the tube back to the theatre district...mind the gap...
 while out and about we came across byron's "proper" hamburgers...the question is...are their improper burgers out there somewhere?
 a quick trip to st. martin in the fields and trafalgar square...
 hmmmmm....
 we documented our steps at st. martin's...iowa scott...me...gin...and scot-tay...
 one last peek at big ben and we ducked into an English pub for our final meal in the city...
after dinner ginny and i ran off to go and see the hurley burley show (burlesque)...it was a bust (hee hee)...was tacky and tough to watch...so we fled and ended up at a concert at st. matin's...mozart's requiem...INCREDIBLE! 

sunday morning came early and we packed...jumped on the bus...navigated our way through heathrow and boarded a plane...

thank you london
