Relax, don't do it

It must be holidays, we're now waking after eight and it feels great. After the past couple of packed days it was time to relax and this morning we lounged around with Norma before a quick walk to the River Ember.

The afternoon was also pretty lazy and we headed to the local shopping precinct of Kingston. With no particular items to purchase we decided an ice-cream with flake was what we needed.

Our first dilemma for this trip was when we tried to board the 411 bus from Kingston upon Thames back to East Molesey. Letting all the locals board first, we then tried to purchase tickets and found out we needed an oyster card (similar to our Myki).  The driver was great and advised we could use paywave, this was ok for one ticket but not for the second. In the end the driver could see we were genuine tourists and let us both on advising we would need to get an Oyster card.

When we got back to East Molesey we had a lovely walk through the town and popped into the antiques shops. Some of the shops however would be better if they were to get a skip and have a clearout.

The evening was finished with a goodbye dinner with Norma and Tony at The Bell Public House. I must say we were all impressed with this pub and the food, Katie and myself were quite impressed to be eating dinner in the pub that was built back in 1460. We finished the evening with some drinks with the rest of the family.

Thanks to all.
