London Calling
News from the Big Cog 

Day -2 London - 28.7.05 

Arrive London, Peter and Mum's friend Julia pick us up from airport and drive us to Battesea and our bikes. 

Assemble Betsy and Dan's bike - now Lance. Peter slept a bit Dan and I rode along river for quick look around.

                

Stumbled across Big Ben, Nelson's Column, Westminster, Piccadilly and on the way back Buckingham Palace. 

The winner was probably Battersea Park a lovely sprawling park with water features, sports grounds, the 

Thames on one side and stately homes on the other.

Day -1 London - 29.7.05 

Peter joined us for a ride around London. 

Saw many of yesterdays sights. found a great gourmet food market next to a normal market wedged in 

between a cathedral, maritime museum and other assorted buildings. 

We found the tower of London and tower bridge but at the end of it all I decided that despite 

all the famous historic sites, it was the new glass structures that impressed me so.
