Started the day with a Cheif Mates Full breakfast at 'Captains'. Full is an understatement!! Consisting of freshly toasted chrisp breadstick, traditional Greek cake, forest honey, jam, fresh juice and coffee! A view to the Old Port with a fisherman delivering a box of the fresh catch for tonight's dinner service! A huge Cruisin ship came into view mid morning bringing hoards of day trippers that actually seemed to disperse efficiently into the laneways and cafe...

Does it get any better!? Wandered 5 minutes from my villa with blue table n chairs atop a whitewashed balcony in a garden setting: picture perfect for a start!

He couldn't make me more comfortable and it was almost like a limo ride! And only £35! The Express from London (train) is £22 so for a little extra why not door to door it hey!? Fast tracked every where at checkpoints and check in. I was in and through to the Lounge within 10 minutes! Wow! I kno...

....well, I went into the Portrait Gallery expecting to stay for an hour (if I was lucky) and ended up coming out 3 1/2 hours later! An absolute immersion in the history of London through portraits! All the important and influential portraits of all the monarchs with audio commentary which tells you all the intricacies of their lives, loves and tragedies! I have added some of the amazing original portraits in photos! All the galleries and museums are free in...
