Wandering London in the Rain

Our last day in London was going to be a wet one. With no particular plans for the day, we decided to go for a wander using the GPS as a guide...chasing out Virtual geocaches. Virtual caches are an old form of cache where there is physical cache to find but instead it is some sort of destination...usually quite interesting.

So off we went and along the way we came across Australia House, the Twinings tea shop and a pub built in 1549 making it the second oldest pub in London...where we had some lunch.

After lunch we made our way to St Pauls Cathedral and jumped on a bus to escape a downpour. At that time the traffic was so bad, it was actually quicker walking...and a lot wetter. Once the rain stopped we got off the bus and continued our wandering...to the Monument, across London Bridge, along the Thames and back across Tower Bridge.

By now it was rather late and we were rather tired so it was back on a couple of buses for a slow crawl in the evening peak period traffic back to our hotel.
