London

I didn't post a blog yesterday because it was a long travel day, a city bus to train station, wait for train then a hour long train ride, local bus to airport, delayed at airport for a bit, hour and a half plane ride, then we took 3 trains to our apartment. We did not eat dinner until 1015pm last night at the nearby Chinese restaurant. 

We found out the hard way that London does not take euros anymore, found out only after we ate at the nearby Chinese restaurant.

We went to pay .... so long story short they kept 50 of our euros that I offered, until we brought them 26 pounds , we took care of that today.

Delayed but still smiling

 Flying over Thames river, you can see the London Eye in upper left-hand corner. (Big Ben is on other side of river)

On the tube to our apartment

Our apartment 

We went to bed shortly after getting here. 

LONDON

We slept in a bit, did a load of laundry 

and then headed out for our day. 

(this was the best cup of coffee / chocolate muffin that I have had in Europe.) At a little café on the river.

Then went to the Emirates air lift over across the Thames river. Which was included in our London pass and travel card. 

Over the river @90 meters 

The O2

Then we got on a 1 1/2 hour river cruise down the Thames to Westminister.

The London Eye 

Number 1 thing Tim wanted to see in London. 

Big Ben

Yep they drive on the wrong side of the road

We had to have fish and chips and Tim had a beer at a local pub next to big Ben and West Minister Abby. 

This is our view

Busy streets 

The Parliament House

Walked across the bridge toward the London eye

We sat at a Riverside Park and listened  to a street petformer playing music for a while. Drank my passion fruit icy.

Then we headed back towards the apartment on the tube and did a little grocery shopping, so we can eat the next two days ha ha.

A little Geocaching without success as the sun sets and then relaxing for the rest of the evening in front of the fireplace, cuddling on the couch. 

One more full day in London! Goodnight
