Rainy holiday in London

The following five entries are long-overdue. It's been months since my Europe trip. Not to delay any longer, it's updated as short as possible.

On July 23, 2016, booked return tickets to London for 18 days 16 nights from September 15 to October 4, 2016.

On Thursday, September 15, 2016, the flight departed from KLIA at 9.50 am and arrived at London Heathrow Airport at 4.35 pm. That evening, we had dinner at a Moroccan Restaurant.




On Saturday, September 17, 2016, we left Norbury at 9.40 am.
We had breakfast at Caffe Concerto from 11.10 am to 11.40 am.
We had marble cheese cake,
 pain au raisin and
 cherry frangipani.
After breakfast, we walked around Trafalqar Square and Chinatown till 1.30 pm.






Then we had lunch at a Brazilian restaurant, Preto (£30). It offers a variety of freshly prepared gourmet salads and traditional Brazilian hot dishes. It is a different dining experience at Preto. The meats are finely carved at the table. Definitely a new experience for me. After lunch, I shopped at Primark from 2.20 pm to 4.40 pm.

We then celebrated three friends' birthdays from 5.45 pm and left at 9.20 pm. 
The host prepared a table of pizza dough and a table of pizza toppings including pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, sausage, black olives, green peppers and several types of cheese. The guests got to choose their own pizza toppings. Another new experience for me.
On Sunday, September 18, 2016, we decided to go to Kent for Salute to the 40s Festival (£19.50). We were there from 10.45 am to 1.20 pm.
















We had lunch at The Crown Carvery till 2.30 pm
 I had their Sunday Carvery (£7.79) and apple juice (£9).
 That was my first taste of a classic pub meal.
 After lunch, we went to Millbrook Garden for Orchid Festival.





We were there from 2.49 pm to 3.21 pm. 
That evening, we had dinner at my friend's neighbour, Sean & Priya's home till 9.20 pm.
