Last day on Thames -visit to New Malden

We  had another unambitious day on the river.  It was raining quite hard in the morning, so we battened down the hatches, put up the awning and sailed to Windsor.  We immediately checked the ATM, and, luckily, were able to access our money.  We had lunch in Windsor; I had a mushroom and cheese Cornish pasty; Mark had McDonald's!

In the afternoon, the sun came out - lucky day again!  So, we sailed very slowly back to the marina, soaking up our last minutes on the river.  Then, we packed up the boat and our gear.  Maura's friend, Vicky, a teacher in Slough, very kindly picked us up and drove us all the way to New Malden to stay with Maura.   Then, she turned around and drove back to watch a football match with a friend.  We felt very grateful as it took well over two hours in total.

Maura, Mark and I feasted on scumptious Indian food - we had quite the array of pork, lamb, chicken, spinach, potato.....followed by Key Lime Pie.  But, mostly we just walked the evening away as Maura told us all about UNICEF's educational efforts and commitment to the rights of the child.  Tomorrow....Paris!
