Sunday, September 25 we took a morning train from Bath to London and arrived at our hotel around noon. The good news was that our room was ready and we could check in early. The bad news was the elevator was out of order and we were on the 3rd floor, or what would be the 4th floor in the U.S. Ugh! Our room faces Bayswater Rd. and Kensington Gardens. We walked around Kensington Gardens and the adjoining Hyde Park, plus the surrounding area.

After many hours of walking we went to the pub next to the hotel, The Swan. After eating, some local guys at the table near us started talking to us and we ended up talking to them for a couple of hours. It was a long day.
