July 9- Weybridge and Olympic Park

Dad, Cooper and I ate a nice breakfast at the Bridge Hotel, overlooking the Thames.  Dad ordered a full English breakfast.  Then we drove around Weybridge, the area of London where Dad used to live.  We found 11 Oatlands Close, Dad’s old address, but the house wasn’t there.  We gave a neighbor our email address and she said she’d email us a local publication written about the history of the road, if she can find it. 
We drove to our hotel, the California Hotel in London and we were in horrible traffic.  Cooper dropped Dad and Alysse off with thier luggage and he took the car back to the airport.  While Cooper was returning the car, Dad and Alysse took the subway to Olympic Park.  The park itself was closed, but there was plenty of shopping and good views.  We met Cooper back at the hotel.  That night, we took the Tube to Kensington Gardens and walked all the way to the Eye.  Dad really enjoyed seeing Hyde Park along the Serpentine River, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Parliament, etc.  It was nice because it didn't get dark until about 11:30 pm or so.  We got back really late, so we picked up sandwiches at Upper Crust, a shop in the subway station, and ate in the hotel room.
