Sophie had her first day trip to London today on the train. We left this morning with Peter and Patricia and spent the day out and about. Sophie really liked the train as it jolts about and rocks to and fro. She especially liked looking out the windows to see all the fascinating scenery.
In London we visited Canada House to enquire about obtaining a citizenship card for Sophie as well as about renewing a Canadian passport for me from England. Both are possible, but the citizenship card takes about a year to process I am told!
We then took a quick look about the National Gallery and had lunch in its cafe before walking past Buckingham Palace to Hyde Park Corner where the new NZ war memorial is found. Sophie slept through the entire thing so I think we will have to take her back again when she is a bit older!
It was a lovely day and we all enjoyed ourselves. It was nice to get out for such a long walk and very special that we were able to take in the London scenery while doing so.
Here's one last picture of Sophie and her Grandma Kay in the train on the way home.
