Our excursion today was a scientific walking tour of London. When our tour guide showed up, she was this little old woman; I spent a good while wishing that when she spoke, she would sound like a Monty Python “lady”. She did not disappoint. The tour itself was ok; it was heavy on the walking but not so much with the tour. We did get to see Sir. Arthur Conan Doyle’s house where he wrote some of his Sherlock Holmes but overall the tour was so-so. After the tour finished we headed off on the tube for Abbey Road. One in our company has much love for the Beatles. When we got there, we took lots of pictures and the wall part of the gate had the writing of various visitors on it. I drew my nurse chicken on the wall of Abbey Road and took a picture of it. Next, some decided they wanted to recreate the album cover to Abbey Road. This took forever. The road is quite busy and cars kept stopping to let them cross the road that they had to wave on. I was one of the photographers along with Andrew and while it took a long time, it was very fun. We also walked over to Paul McCartney’s house for Cheryl and teased her about being a stalker which caused her to keep shushing us while we were outside his house.
