The Giro d'Italia penultimate stage ended in Verona on June 2, and June 3 Angel and I each took off for separate parts, he to the Puglia with his cycling club and I went to London, my first solo trip in Europe. Wow! What a great time I had! So these are five posts with my highlights. Of course, I saw monuments and Big Ben and all of that, but as usual, these photos are personal to me. Above is the street where my hotel was, a typical row of white houses.
American friends were in London, Louise and Mike Kenny and seven Kenny family members; most of us stayed at the same hotel, Number Sixteen in South Kensington.
The first night we went to dinner at an outdoor cafe. That is me by the white-haired guy in the yellow shirt, one of the Kenny brothers. Louise and Mike are in the back...Louise is in brown. 
I guess the London authorities got tired of scraping tourists off the pavement, because in the City and the hotel areas, you see these signs at all crosswalks.
This was the view from the French doors in my room, to the breakfast garden. Did I say that I love beautiful hotels? This is a small boutique hotel, very charming.
This is the breakfast buffet, and me in the mirror...I took a few 'mirror' pictures so that I would be in my vacation photos.
