Cruisy start to the day. Enjoyed our time with Kirsten’s parents. They are pretty cool.
Then we watched a little of the Olympic opening ceremony.
Late afternoon we headed off to the centre of London. At Trafalgar square there was a large screen showing the opening ceremony.
In the large crowd there was a substantial Chinese contingent. Not sure what preparation they had, but they all clapped in unison at the right moments. In fact they started clapping even before one knew what was happening. Very surreal.
Then we had a light bite before seeing a musical ‘Marguerite’. The meal was delicious at this Italian restaurant.
The musical was awesome. Great singing, great story set in France in WWII.
Some may have heard of the ‘low talker’ from Seinfeld. We had the ‘loud clapper’ sitting near us. In fact he clapped so loudly I expected some people to lose their hearing.
It was entertainment in itself, especially when he was the only one clapping.
Another day of great conversation, great food, and great experiences. It was effectively our last full day in London.

Thanks for taking us all with you on your journey. It's a great read and a great way of keeping up with your whereabouts. And John: Thanks for the inspiration for a new set of wheels. ;-) Now I just need a bike to go with them.
Sandra,
I finally think I've worked out how to reply to comments. D'oh!
When I saw the wheels I thought of you, so I had to take the photo.
As for the new bike, we are at our luggage weight limit. Otherwsie I would have snuck a new frame in for you. ;-)
