# 7 – Visit every street on the Monopoly board in one day

So we (Tim, Nate and I) caught the train into London at 8.40am and after grabbing a much needed coffee met the lovely Sophie on Oxford Street at 10am. We used the route found on http://www.jrsaville.co.uk/monopoly_route.htm The morning was fun, lots of walking but really nice to see London from above as I am usually so lazy I tend to grab the tube everywhere. After a lovely belated birthday lunch for Sophie at Pizza Express we headed off on foot again. It was here it all went a little downhill. One very tired baby, a lost travel-card, continuous rain and aching feet made the afternoon a little tougher. Tim and Nate huddled in a coffee shop for the afternoon whilst Soph and I carried on and we all then met up again at Liverpool Street station. I won’t lie those last two hours were hard going (it’s just over 15 miles in total and you walk 80% of it). We finally caught a train home at just after 7pm. Poor Nate had experienced a very long day (I felt like a bad Mummy!) but he did have his first trip to Hamleys, mainly because it was one of the few places we could find with baby changing facilities! I do really recommend doing this, but perhaps in the summer and without a 3 month old! Thanks so much Sophie for keeping me company and Tim for looking after Nate in between feeds!
