16 August

London

Sunday in London, with the plan before the trip being to be able to go along to a service at Calvary Chapel Westminster. Despite the long day preceding, we woke up early enough to be able to get to the 9 am service at the normal venue – only to find when we got there that it had become a building site. We wandered along to Buckingham Palace (just around the corner) to decide what to do, while I tried texting the only person from church whose number was in my phone’s contact list. She replied to say where they were meeting, which was up near Kings Cross at 11 am. So we made our way up there and managed to find it. We just couldn’t help but get the impression that ‘somebody’ didn’t want us to go! (wallet, hospital, traipsing around)
In the afternoon we went to St Paul’s to have a look around (since we didn’t manage to fit it in during our last holiday in London in 2005).
