Our holiday, day two

Today we started off with breakfast..... mug of coffee and scrambled eggs, grilled tomato, hash brown and black pudding for Andrea...

And THREE panno shoko LAH for us!!!  We love breakfast here!!

We scarfed them down in a hurry!!!

Then we got our stuff ready and went off on our adventure!!

Here's our bus stop!

We left a god card on the bus stop

BUS BINGO ALERT!!  We got the number 65!!

They got a floppy disc

And we rode over Kew Bridge.....

Wonder what we're doing today?

We got off at Richmond Station - are we getting another train today??  No??  We're going to meet someone for coffee?

Well Nicola turned up and suggested a cafe down the road and bought us a coffee!!!  It was yum!  And it was fun having a good old natter with her!!

Later on, we parted company (she had cats to look after) and we went off to do something else.  And we found another manhole cover thing!!

And there was another bit showing the river thames...


Good huh?!

Then it was off to another bus stop.

BUS BINGO ALERT!!!  We got the number 33!!

They got a "light my life" card

Ooo, I remember those buildings!!

And we got off here....

But had to cross the road to get the next bus!

we put another light my life card on this bus stop too!

BUS BINGO ALERT!!!  We got the 378 bus!

We tied a vinyl to this bus...

We went past a cemetery on the way.....

And got off here at Putney Bridge!!!

We found a cherub!

Tarot reading?? For FIFTY QUID????  Crikey that's expensive!!

There's that horse!

And we saw a faded advert on that building!

We tied another floppy disc on the railing here....

And they've got a sundial!!!  Oh wow!

Oh, that's an interesting roof!!

Then we decided to go back to Soul Flame for lunch!

We got a fizzy drink

And we got chicken shish with bulgher wheat with a youghurt dip, a chilli dip and a salad.

And we got some flat bread too!  YUM!!

And then it was time to head back, so off we went to the bus stop

And we got another 378 bus!

They got a floppy disc too!

And we're off!

And we got off here and crossed the road again.....

.....to get the 33 back to Richmond!!  We're getting the hang of these buses!!

They got a floppy disc too!

Oh this is fun....!

Oooo that's fancy!

And here we are back in Richmond!

But we still need to get back to the hotel, so it's off to this bus stop

And they got a light my life card too!!

And it's another number 65 bus!

Yep, they got a floppy disc!!

There's the bagoda in Kew Gardens

And there's the main entrance!!!

We got off at the next stop though, because we're GOING TO THE CAYKE SHOP!!!
HURRAYYY!!!

After we bought some caykes (we'll show you later) we had a ride in their van!!

Oh wow!!  They made caykes for king Henry 8th!!

and then it was off for the final bus ride of the day!!

We left another light my life card on the bus stop

And another 65 bus!

And this one got a little light card!

And we're off!

Past the pretty church

And back over the Thames!

And we got off here at Watermans centre

and had a short walk back to the hotel!

When we got to our room, we sat down for a cuppa tea and a cayke.  We had one of the Mainds of Honour caykes (not the chocolate one!)

And later, we got new stamps in our passports!

Later on we went to a Thai restaurant down the road for dinner.

We had a beer.

And a King Prawn Pad Thai which was proper yummy!!

And we even had a pudding!!!  We had icecream with an espresso coffee sorce!  That was yum as well!

And then it was back to the hotel.

And we went to bed completely exhaustipated!!!
What a day!

  1. Excellent adventure! Glad to see you actually stopped at the Cayke place!
    Are those 45 records (presumably not the 33 LP ones?).
    That's a LOT of 65 buses...
