see its places of interest. He added he was going to travel by car. Jan knew how much his friend was interested in the British Royal Family and everything connected with the crown.

He advised Paul to visit the British Museum, the Tower of London and Hyde Park.But he reminded his friend that all those places were in the centre of London and driving in London was very difficult.
Paul was not afraid and said he would easily find all those places and his hotel. He was going to stay at the Royal Hotel, one of the best in the city. On his way to the hotel Paul stopped to have a look at the bright
Procession walking along the Mall. Paul admired the procession and even followed it in his car and then,suddenly, he understood that he had lost his way.

And Paul followed him in his car. They got to the hotel in two minutes.
