London biking



Our Sunday started with a jog around Kensington Gardens, past Kensington Palace, through Hyde Park, briefly stopping for a friendly chat with the squirrels.  After expending much energy, we headed back to our hotel for an English Breakfast.  A quick refuel and we were off again, biking all over town. We travelled across Hyde Park, through Wellington Arch, down Constitution Hill to Buckingham Palace. Here we stopped for the Changing of the Guard Ceremony.  After crossing St James Park, we went through the arch of the Household Calvary Museum to make our way toward Westminster Abbey and Big Ben/Parliament House. What a fun way to travel around London! 
Next we walked to Tottenham Court Road and attended a spectacular Easter Sunday church service at Hillsong London. Wow!!! What an amazing experience! The church put on a spectacular theatre production encapsulating the very essence of the Easter message. We also made a friend from Surrey, who was visiting London for Easter.  A quick farewell and we were off  to Soho to visit Uncle Jonathan for tea and niceties. Uncle Jonty introduced us to the most delectable pastries from Princi's in Waldour Street. Anyone visiting London simply must make a trip to Soho and succomb to the  alluring pleasures of this stylish, modern Italian Panetteria. A short stroll to Covent Garden to watch the street performers, followed by a very authentic Moroccan dinner seemed the perfect way to end our day.
