Embassy Hopping


Monday 2 July - In order for us to have a summer holiday in France we need to get Mathis a passport. With that as our main goal we got a ungodly early train to London. On arriving we had breakfast at a cafe and then walked through Hyde park to the American Embassy. There was a lot of queueing and waiting and we spent a little over two hours there, however, in the end we were told the passport should reach us in 3-5 weeks. Next stop was the French embassy which was a walk along another part of Hyde Park and over to the Natural History museum (the embassy is just en face of the museum). At the French embassy we were told we needed to process all of our paperwork through the embassy in New York. We made a quick stop in the V&A to feed and change Mathis and look around the shop. We had a very nice, quick lunch at a turkish/French restaurant, L'opera and then walked back through Hyde Park to Paddington station to catch the 2:00 train back to Bristol.
