Day 2 - Princess Diana Fountain, Billy Elliot


The remainder of the afternoon was spent walking through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. The Princess Diana Memorial Fountain was on Deb's list of things she wanted to see, so we thought it appropriate to go see it right after our tour of Kensington Palace. It was quite a walk, but the sun was out so off we went.

The fountain has several different features all flowing around in a large circle.























We continued walking, passing the Wellington Arch (third photo), and many other things, eventually making it back to Victoria with enough time to grab some dinner before the show. We ate at Garfunkel's, which was another chain (who knew?!), and had fish and chips. Karen even tried the mushy peas, when in Rome and all of that. They were not her favorite thing. Then we walked next door to see the stage production of Billy Elliot. It was fantastic! Couldn't have asked for a better show to see in London! Now for the tube ride back to the Hilton Olympia and preparations for our big Trafalgar Tour Adventure.
