London from the Sky Garden Part 3

Wednesday, September 23

A brilliant sunny day for our last day in London and a visit to one of London's newest attractions: the Sky Garden, on top of what we call the Razor building (it looks like an electric razor).  We've been looking at this building from our flat on the south side every day, not realizing that this was where we were heading with our free booked on-line tickets.
Tall building on the left:  Razor
We met our friend Andrea (from Mae Sot days) and after going through airport-like security and producing photo ID, we were whisked up to the 33rd floor and a 3 story atrium, with a gentle staircase rising from the first level, green trees, ferns, flowers everywhere, a fabulous not expensive cafe, lots of comfy seating and purple blankets in case you were chilly!  And the views weren't bad either!

Alas, it's time to say goodbye to London, and continue the further adventures of Canadians on the loose in the Highlands of Scotland with our intrepid and oh so patient friend Hilary.
