A pigeon went on a bit of explore through the front door of the restaurant I was just eating at.

Picnic lunch today. Sophie would love it here. So many doggos running about.

I’ve lucked out with the weather on this trip. Almost everyday has had nice blue skies and been about 20 out.

Today’s sighting while running: Sherlock Homes! Finding all the street names  you hear when you’re a kid is a lot of fun. Baker Street is real! Drury lane is an actual place!

Another good run this morning.

Really beautiful park.

The great thing about going for regular long-ish runs like this in the morning is I can eat whatever I’d like for breakfast.

The restaurant staff are understanding me better too and now bring me the big coffee instead of a small coffee and an inevitable refill.

Great run this morning.

Two things:

1. The reason people don’t wait for signals to change before crossing the street in the west is because it takes ages. You quickly adapt. These little reminders on the road are helpful in such situations.

2. I lost data for some reason mid-run so got a bit lost on the way back. But I could see Buckingham Palace and run through a fantastic park.

Seeing the palace for the first time really gives you a sense of “wow Kings and Queens really did rule the country”.

 

How I wish Japan had streets like this. 😍

Almost there!

You look out the window and you can’t tell, but I’m certain this isn’t the route we took.
