Christian is quite crook and has decided to spend the day in bed.
What to do in a big, new city all by yourself? I decided to head for The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew.
I had a delightful day wandering around. It's a confusing thing, my watch and step timer is on NSW time, so my step counter starts again just before midday...But in that time after midday to 9pm I managed well over 12 000 steps. I guess that gives you an idea of how many steps we are getting in a day...there is a lot of walking going on.

And it seems Britons like stairs...6 flights of stairs to our little flat, multiple flights of stairs to get on and off platforms for trains, stairs on buses (but there's nothing quite like sitting up top on a double decker bus, takes me back to being a kid when we had a double decker bus).

This evening we found a delightful, little Indian restaurant. And better yet, there were no screens! We had a delicious, spicy meal to blow away Christian's cold. Very enjoyable, and left overs for tomorrow night.
