Who the heck said that London doesn't get hot! Maybe we just hit a heat wave?!?! 31 degrees today and after thunderstorms and rain during the night, a humidity factor that felt like at least 80% (our guess, but we are probably exaggerating). In any effect, it was sweatsville today! We aren't complaining, just surprised.

So, what to do you when it is 31 degrees and feels like 35? You go for a walk! To an old English Pub we heard about - the Jugged Hare. We stepped into the shops along the way but didn't really buy anything. London is very expensive especially when you factor in the exchange rate of 1.85.



The pub was cool, although not very busy at that time of the day (early afternoon), the British Open was on the Telly and Ron found a friendly chap to discuss each play with. That, along with a couple pints and a nice steak pie, made Ron a happy boy.


I decided to try the house special hare pie. Yup, you guessed it - rabbit. Although that may make some (including Ron) a little squeamish, it was very tasty.

It will be an early night for us tonight as we need to leave at 5 am tomorrow morning to catch our flight to Venice. Tomorrow we will board the cruise and catch up with our friends Chris and Lisa. We are looking forward to it!

Farewell London... Until we meet again.
