World Naked Bike Day - London

World Naked Bike Day
World Naked Bike Day


Last weekend we went exploring around some of the parks in London. When we got to Hyde Park we found a celebration. It was the World Naked Bike Ride: London – and yes we actually saw the riders! There was a lot of activity around the park and Buckingham Palace that day. We took several interesting pictures of the bands, the bike riders, and random park activities. We wandered through the Rose Garden at Hyde Park, and caught a friendly cricket game. After checking out the Marble Arch we got some ice cream at Speaker’s Corner.

When we left Hyde Park we saw the New Zealand Memorial, Wellington Arch and then strolled down Constitution Hill to Buckingham Place. After some picture opportunities we wandered through St. James Park before heading back up Constitution Hill. We had dinner at the Hard Rock CafĂ© and then hopped back on the tube and headed for home. It probably doesn’t sound very exciting, but we had a terrific day leisurely walking around the parks.

Michael’s traveling this week in Switzerland and Germany. He’ll be home tomorrow night. We’re getting ready for our road trip from London to Scotland. We’re planning to hit Stonehenge, the Lake District, Edinburgh, and anything else we find of interest along the way. I’ll tell you all about it next week.

What's stopping you, Alzina? You're right all of the gardens are beautiful right now. I was hoping that we'd see some beautiful scenery this weekend too, but I'm not sure if we'll get to or not. The weather forcast is for rain all weekend. Oh well, hopefully we can get a few good shots between showers. Thanks for reading - I'm glad Mom sent you the link!
