Not a good start to the day.I slipped on the ramp outside the hotel with t my left leg under me and flat on my back. Got up with difficulty and went into the foyer and laid down for a while to recover my dignity and ease the pains, particularly the back. Filed a hand written report and then left for our river cruise which was most enjoyable. 

Started at the Westminster Abbey pier and cruised in the open top deck boat to Greenwich. Had a meander in town, with a coffee. Pauline had to tell them how to make an Iced coffee! Must be a lost art as there would have been no call for these for the last six years because of no summer weather. Got off at the Tower pier and walked to St Paul's, only to find it closed for a rehearsal. Indeed a bitter pill to swallow as our guide book had warned us that there were occasional rehearsals which closed off the sightseeing tours.

Hopped on the underground and went to Leicester square Station and walked to Trafalgar Square, had a bite to eat at “Pret A Manger” where we went on Saturday, their food is excellent.

At this point we couldn’t be bothered trying to fit in anything else using the London Pass, it was just too hectic. So we went for a stroll, stopped at a church market, unfortunately not in the direction we had intended. The knee was starting to give me quite some grief, so off home on the tube on a quite warm day, ran out of water on the train and everyone was sweating. That shower was so welcome when we got home.
