London: Friday 10 August


Visit to the London Zoo

I left Notting Hill early this morning for Mottingham, to pick up Katarina and Amy to go to the London Zoo.  We had planned to visit the zoo last summer, but tried to do too much in one day, and missed the zoo hours by about 30 minutes.  I had promised Amy this visit to the zoo, and Katarina really loved getting out of the house! (And her full-time carer, Steven, got a break for a few hours.)  Since last year, Katarina has been disabled with a partial paralysis, confining her to a wheelchair and a hospital bed downstairs in the living room.  Getting around London in a wheelchair is a bit of a challenge. It helps to use an occasional taxi as not all the Tube stations have lifts from the trains to the street!






































Joshua was going to meet us there, but didn’t realize how long it would take for us to get there, and we missed each other at the zoo.  So the three of us enjoyed as much of the zoo as we could with intermittent rain!

We had a great time anyway! Then Joshua agreed to meet us at Euston Station to eat, and then went back to Mottingham with us.


In the evening, Joshua needed to do laundry and get ready to leave Sunday morning for Glasgow.  I waited till Saturday morning to do my laundry.
