W-8 London

We knew and thought we had to practice walking .... ok we had been doing it for decades but maybe not 15 miles a day. Due to a happy coincidence we decided to see our daughter and walk around London. I am really not sure if concrete / tarmac hard surfaces are the best preparation for the longest walk of our lives but fundamentally it was a great day. Westminster Abbey was very interesting - over 3,000 people are buried there and its seems you have to be "someone" to get in - although not everyone mentioned is buried there e.g. Winston Churchill. Anyway after walking in London for a day my feet hurt - perhaps not perfect for the coast to coast but 19,000 steps must have done some good :-)
