Woke up in London yesterday ((as I start singing that song)) and starting feeling sick. Guess that's what jetlag feels like :(
Decided to take an asprin and suck it up. Glad I did. We took a free bus to "The Tube" (London's subway system). The Tube took about an hour and we got off in the center of London where we proceeded to get lost. Finally we found the place to purchase and get on a tour bus. This open-top bus took us around the highlights of the city. All my 300+ pictures are on facebook. Total overload, but better to take too many than not enough, right? We did make a brilliant stop on the bus to get off and see the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace! I don't think I have ever seen so many tourists in one place, but it was pretty awesome. Too bad the queen, William, and Kate weren't there! Then we popped back on the bus and proceeded to take even more pictures. Then took the Tube back to the hotel and jumped on our plane to Edinburgh! London was an awesome place and I really wish I could spend an entire week there - several hours is just not enough!
If you have a long weekend off, then hop on the train and head back to London for some more fun...British Museum, Crown Jewels at the Tower of London, Tower Bridge tour, original Hard Rock Cafe. Or save it for your next trip to the UK.
