Walking, and lots of it. All powered by a breakfast of nutella and pancakes. We were out the door around 10 and didnt stop until 8. We hopped on the underground and got off at the Westminster stop. Right outside the station we were greeted by Big Ben only right across the street. We walked around Parliament and took a detour occross the river where we saw various signs about humps. We took the next bridge east back over river and walked from Parliament to St Pauls Cathdreal. After that we decided to take the train back towards the tower and were helped by a station employee very insistant on singing us Elvis and Jonny Cash songs. We then walked around more looking for food to find that all Pubs and packed with business people on lunch, all standing outside smoking and drinking (rinse, wash, repeat for dinner). Avoiding pubs we ate some sandwiches and got on with the day. Next we took a tour of the Tower of London and got to see the crown jewels and walk the walls. After that we grabbed a pint at the Market Porter and went back to a grassy area by the Tower Bridge to wait for nightfall and photography.
To summarize:
Business people take lunch breaks at pubs in swarms.
If you are going too fast you might want to look out for speed humps.
People need to donate money to keep the thousands of huge diamonds in the crown jewels safe.
We cant understand anything anyone says here. Answering yes has worked out thus far.
Double decker busses are a little weird when you are on the second story.
Anyways, hope all is well back home. Were off to bed.

London is my favorite city ever!! And it is hard to believe they are speaking the same language. Wait till you get to Germany, their English is much better.
ReplyDeleteI said to Jessica last night that I cant wait to get into non-English speaking countries so I can understand people again.
