After a hard day of sightseeing we hit the ice skating rink at Queens before dinner at Obeno. We first tried Okonomiyaki during our trip to Tokyo for Alex and Chiaki's wedding. I'm sure that Chiaki and Alex will be very impressed with Carolyn's new Okonomiyaki cooking skills. The excellent food and Sapporo beer helped us relax after a long and busy day.
We stopped off at Stamford Bridge to take the Chelsea stadium tour. We didn't really support a specific football team, but after the tour we were avid supporters and Carolyn even picked up a Chelsea T-Shirt. The tour included the media room, locker room, stands and tunnel. We also had our photo taken with the FA Cup and Charity Shield
The London Pass included a guided tour of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club as well as access to the museum. The guided tour was excellent and included Number 1 Court, Centre Court, Henman Hill, Competitors Area and Media Centre. Highlights from the museum included the Jon McEnroe exhibit, competitors outfits (Roger Federer's outfits with his logo on everything were hilarious), trophies and taking on one of the museum staff on the reaction test game (he saw me thrash Carolyn on it and wanted to kick my ass - which he did).
Despite living down the road from HMS Belfast I haven't been to visit since my Dad took me some twenty years ago. HMS Belfast served as an Artic escort and was one of the first ships to open fire on German positions during D-Day as well as being involved in the Korean War. We had a great time looking around and were amazed at how technology advanced the old girl was. It was especially great to see the photos of HMS Belfast in Sydney Harbour. After we finished looking around HMS Belfast we visited the London Bridge Experience.
Don't press the button Carolyn ;-)
