A much more relaxing day today - Bill went for a long walk to seek out the base of the Gherkin that looms on our horizon. Once close, it was tricky to find - curving side streets were a challenge until it finally appeared.
We spent the afternoon in the Regents Park area then had tickets to the Open Air Theatre for a performance of "On the Town". It was like time travel - could have been sitting in a 50's theatre watching Frank Sinatra in his sailor's outfit. The dancing is probably more athletic and there was one scene with two gay guys that wouldn't have happened then but otherwise it was unchanged from what I guess must have been the original. Corny but fun! The weather was absolutely perfect - a relief - rain was predicted a few days ago but we had a reprieve. Leaving the theatre was interesting - we had no bearings but just followed the crowd out of the park and happily enough ended up at the tube station a few blocks away.
More pictures tomorrow.
