Go, go, go girl. Day 6

I continue to worry if I have taken the real Gail on this trip. Despite a little headache from last night, Gaily was up first again and keen to hit the Portebello Markets. Knowing that rain is predicted for the afternoon we were off early and moving down a long line of bric-a-brac, clothing and antiques.
A few minor purchases made we headed to Paddington station (and bear shop) to get our tickets to Bath for tomorrow morning. 
On the tube again we headed out to the Tower of London and onto a river cruise down to the London Eye. Thousands were there so we jumped on the tour bus for a ride through Piccadilly jumping off to say a quick hello to the other Queen at Buck House.
The other Gail was then keen for a long walk to Harrods and a wander through all the departments we can't afford to be in. Afraid that I might do a face plant in some display of premium wines, the other Gail allowed a break for sustenance.
Made the mistake of grabbing a seat in the first pub we came to "The Bunch O Grapes" where the food read better than it tasted. Further along we came to a lovely collection of eateries around South Kensington tube where we booked a nice Italian for our final night in London.
Back to the hotel for a little break......... I need a holiday.
