Day 8-9: A Distinctively Luxury Stay at The Temple House ;)















The last view from Grand Hyatt room before we checked out and moved over to The Temple House. Superb weather today btw. :)

The Temple House is a wonderful blend of traditional and modern architecture. I would say it's amongst the best hotels we stayed in China.














































































































































The Temple House's Tivano serves regionally inspired Italian cuisine.  :) After having days of spicy Chinese cuisine, anything western is welcomed.

















































Day 9: A heavy dinner warrant an early morning swim. :))) Pauline hit the gym instead. :D

































Breakfast was room service. :)))




























We took some time in the morning for spa and wellness indulgence at The Temple House's Mi Xun. Now if the massage session could be a little longer... :)

Day 10: Drawing to a Close...






















This morning we made a trip to John Lewis, followed by Selfridge and Co. :) 























When there's such a gorgeous and Instagram worthy restaurant at Selfridges, we just gotta do lunch here. :))) Aubaine has a ceiling full of wisteria. :D





















Here's what we had amongst the four of us. :)





















We had a floral session with Jamie of Jamie Aston this afternoon. :) The flowers he had in the store were stunning. :)



















































































































Hahahahah....no, I'm not the recipient of this fabulous bouquet! :))) Someone, please give me a bouquet of blooms! 




















What better way to reward ourselves than having an ice cream. Flower related still... :D







































We were going to Rabbit for dinner but we got distracted by Amorino ice cream, across the street. :))) So it was ice cream before dinner.

The Shed was Gladwin brothers' first restaurant and Rabbit was their second restaurant. We love the food at both restaurants. :)


































































































































After dinner, we strolled down Elizabeth Street. :)









































Can't believe our time in London is drawing to a close...Savouring my last evening in London...
