London Trip - Day 6

On our last full day in London, we went out to Richmond to see Matt and Jhodi again. They took us to Richmond park which is a fantastic place. We saw some of the deer in the park. Shortly afterwards, disaster struck when Johnathan took on a steep hill on his scooter. With skinned elbows and grazes on his hands and hip, he was not a happy camper. Fortunately Matt had his running gear on and ran to the nearest chemist for some bandaids. Once the sores were covered, they weren't so sore anymore and we continued with our day!



The kids loved exploring the park and playing with Mac, Jhodi and Matt's dog.

After the park, we walked along the Thames to a pub for lunch. Then for a bit of a tour around Richmond area where Matt and Jhodi showed us their new house. Finally we had afternoon tea in Kew Gardens before getting on the train back to central London for our last night. The next day, it was on the plane for a flight home to Qatar after a really fantastic week in London. Thanks to Matt and Jhodi for all the time you spent with us during what was a busy time for you guys!

London Trip - Day 5

In the morning, we went to the Natural History Museum. Johnathan got to borrow a Junior Explorer kit which included a hat, and a backpack with puzzles to be solved. He enjoyed encountering the dinosaurs.

After the museum, it was off to Harrods where we had lunch in the food hall. David then took off with the kids (back to the Princess Diana memorial park) while Monica enjoyed some retail therapy on her own.
