Departed on the 9.30am train from Reading arriving at Paddington at 10am. A Taxi to the Crown Plaza in Buckingham Gate, check in and out ready to se the Changing of the Guard in beautiful late summer sunshine. Crowds were 5 deep, was amazed.
A good walk then to Regent Street for a drink and snack before our time slot of 2pm at the Ice Bar. Unbelievable venue, Bar, stools, Glasses, Walls etc all sculptured in Ice retaining a constant temp' of -5. Dressed as an Eskimo you are allowed 40 minutes to enjoy and savour the experiance. We surely did!
A stroll up Regent Street followed, calling in to Hamley's Toy Shop where we had heard some of the Royal Family were also visiting.
Back to the Hotel for a rest and change before hitting the West End where a Moroccan Meal with Belly Dancer had been booked. Girls did us proud in booking this!! A fantastic meal in a very friendly establishment.
After the meal we enjoyed an evening stroll taking in Leicester Sq, Soho, Piccadilly & China Town. Shattered, a taxi then back to the hotel.
A Great Day.
