London - What we did on day 5

What a fantastic day. The weather was brilliant really hot and sunny. We met up with some friends Jonathan went to school with that he hadn't seen for 10 - 15 years, Chris and Kirsteen, at the National Gallery inTrafalgar Square. The gallery has some awesome paintings dating back hundreds of years but its not really my (Jonathan) kind of art.

After that we wandered down to Carnaby Street and had a look at the shops there, then we nipped round the corner to Hamleys which is a giant toy store with six floors of toys !

We then walked back down to Covent Gardens and met up with another friend, Sean. We had lunch there and had a really good catch up.

Sean had to go, but the rest of us went off to the London Dungeon. It was a little pricey at £20 each but it did last 2 hours and had some pretty neat things. I really liked the free fall during the simulated hanging ride.

Chris and Kirsteen had to head back to Milton Keynes (about an hour and half out of London) so we went to dinner with Simon, Toby and Katie to Suzie Wong's in Soho. This is a fantastic restaurant and does a Thai/Asian tapas style menu. The decor, service and food was great with the five of us sharing six or seven dishes.

After a hard day of walking and with me feeling fluey, Amelia and I headed home whilst the others went out to party (until 5am apparently).
