Today I had a Milton Mulberry pork pie, an eccles cake, and bakewell tart. This was to be my lunch along with a bottle of nice sounding Spanish wine.The food was great but the wine was corked. I wasn't going to return it as I had been out all morning, my legs were tired, and it was long way back to the shop. So I poured the wine down the basin. What a mess, red wind everywhere. It looked liked someone had be murdered in my bathroom.
This morning I took the tube back to St. Pauls and this time the cathedral it was open for visitors.

The Cathedral was impressive and well worth the visit, but unfortunately no cameras were allowed. You could opt for waiting for a group and have a conducted tour or have self tour using a recorder and head set. I opted for the latter and it proved excellent. I found the two large raised stone coffins in the crypt interesting-- on the Duke of Wellington and the Lord Nelson.

After a long time on my feet and up and down a lot stairs I left the Cathedral and got the tube back to Marble Arch and bought myself some lunch. Afte lunch went for a walk around Portland Square and then decided to buy myself a hat.
I could have used Emma's selfie stick instead had to rely using the
mirror above the desk in my room. If I look funny it is because
everything is reversed!
Finally, the hotel covers a complete city block and my room is down one end lifts are at the other. Each time I leave my room I have to walk one complete city block to get to the lifts.
For those interest today I walked 9190 steps or about six and a half kilometres.
