I felt absolutely exhausted when I woke up this morning so I decided to take it easy today and just do some more walking and maybe catch a movie. So after getting myself going I decided to go down to the river Thames and go for a walk along the Thames towards parliament and across to the other side towards the eye.

Today is a Sunday and Boris Johnson was doing a “Bike for the environment” day here in London so many of the streets in London had been closed to just allow push bikes and families to go for a ride through London. So walking amongst the bikes was really quite nice (much nicer than buses and cars!) Walked down the Thames across the river to the eye and then back across the river in time to see Big Ben chime at 12pm before continuing down the Thames towards the Tate Britain.

Finally decided that I had walked far enough and took the tube back towards Oxford St to go hunting a travel agent, to organise my flights to the middle east. From here I decided to head back towards the hostel to have a snooze and then rounded out my day by heading back to Leicester Square to catch a movie, Cowboys and Aliens.. which isn’t worth the effort!
