This morning I snapped a few more photos of interesting alleys and buildings (bottom of page 5 in the photo album) in Blackheath Village before heading into London where I’ve booked a hotel for the night here in Westminster, across the street from Waterloo East train station.
I spend the afternoon doing the tourist bit. I knew all the famous government buildings would be closed but I did want to roam around a bit and orient myself to where we’d presented on Friday. No, we didn’t present in the House of Lords, but darn close! Tony Blair didn’t stop by to hear us, but hey, he could have! Charles, too, though he’s apparently having mother problems. We all can relate, can’t we?
This is the entrance to Westminster House at 7 Millbank where we made our presentation.
It’s just down the block and across the street from Parliament Square.
I tried for an artistic shot of one of the Parliament building towers.
See high-res versions of these and other typical tourism (yes, you can yawn and skip them) photos in the UK photo album, page 5 and 6. I would have taken more but the icy north wind was once again blowing hard and my paper clip shutter fingers didn’t last long.
My hotel doesn’t have wi-fi as advertised so I’m blogging this from The Reef, a cafe/bar overlooking the Waterloo East train station.
