Day 11 - It's like a heat wave! Burnin in my heart!

July 10 - Day 11: We keep hearing public service announcements on the Underground telling people how to deal with the heat wave. It is about 85 degrees each afternoon. We are thrilled as we have heard it is 100 at home!

We all head back to Buckingham Palace for a tour and then we find out that it is closed to tours will the end of July. Drat! But luckily the Royal Mews are open and so we enjoy an up close look at the Golden Coach, the Queen's car, and many other carriages.

Take away lunch was enjoyed on the royal lawn. Crisps in all flavors - prawn coctail, bacon, cheese and onion. Who knew London was the chip capital of the world!

We head on over to the Beatles store and It's Only Rock & Roll and pop into the Sherlock Holmes store since it is right there. We all expected a bit more.... bigger... more selection... but many gifts were purchased!

Off to Foyle's, a super huge book store. They didn't have any of the authors I looked for. Settled for a Jody Piccult. The girsl enjoyed thier shopping and Cafe time, though.

Dinner was at Kettner's, which was recommended buy that book we all hate... they made us order off the party menu, which was a bit annoying, but the food was ok. Except for Jessica's burger, which was served almost raw. Even after a trip back to the grill, it was mostly inedible. ick.

Back to our last night at Ace!
